Rick, I would agree that the Rover is indeed a 16/20. The shield shaped radiator was introduced for the 1907 model year.

There were a few imported into Australia.

Given that the Battle of the Somme commenced 100 years ago today, it seems appropriate to publish something WW1-related. So, added in, a fine photograph of a mid-teens Sunbeam, serving with the army on the Western Front.

Warickshire was home territory for Jaguar. Chatting with a friend he suggested that it might have been a prototype for the 1½ litre MkIV.
