This on the M25 yesterday afternoon - does the 'F' logo on the O/S/R wing mean that it's been squirreled away in France for a period ? (but right hand drive) - looked a bit scruffy and as though it had been storage for some time - would make a great oily rag car - obviously a Edwardian brass era large saloon - brass radiator was radius top - but have not got a clue on the vehicle make

Back when that was fresh from the showroom, most of the world - apart from the USA - would have been driving on the correct side of the road, hence the RHD. ;)

I'd say it could be as late as 1920s. Looks like there is a place for a trunk on the back.

I saw a maroon N reg Triumph TR6 drive past the shop (Turned in the car park and went back the other way) about ten minutes ago, which was nice to see (And hear.....that's how I became aware of it) :D :!: Could have done with a bit of wax (Maroon can be a hard colour) but looked sound.
