I first thought Austin Seven but the lights, screen, mudguards and radiator looked wrong so am stumped. Anyone know?

Cheers,
John

Looks like a De Dion Bouton from the early 1920s.

The radiator shape suggests a Panhard et Levassor to me. Certainly a larger car than an A7, and possibly just a little earlier.

Welcome to the forum John.

I think the Panhard logo was normally placed centrally on the radiator so I'd be more inclined to go with Mike's suggestion of De Dion Bouton even though most photos seem to have the script on the other side of the radiator.

Thanks folks, I really appreciate the speedy replies and agree that it almost certainly is a De Dion Bouton (with the script having changed sides).

Cheers,
John
