Does anyone know what type of car the below is?



Pictured in Surrey, England. Date of picture either 1912 or 1922.

Any help gratefully appreciated.

looking at the radiator, I would guess a Napier, but without the script:



Do you have a connection with this car/image?

"Connection to car/image"

A bit of a bizarre one, being a Vicar I know only through him burying a relative(!) remembered I love cars and sent me the photo. The local parish magazine was trying to identify it.

Thinking it may be a Humber:

i think it might be from Packard, the photo is not very clear but it has the distinctive radiator grill shape

I'd ask on www.prewarcar.com or the Automobile magazine, you'll get an answer there.
