Help appreciated identifying and dating old car

[cliffkinch]

Hi all

I have a very old picture of family that we are trying to date. Im hoping that identifying and dating the car may help

Any help gratefully appreciated

Looks like a Rolls Royce (flying angel)

It's not a Rolls Royce radiator.

PP Registration Numbers were issued in Buckinghamshire, 1923-1928.

Thanks guys - the emblem looks like a "dog-bone" radiator cap and there were loads of variations. The tip on the PP reg is a good help as my family were always keen on new cars even back then so that gives me a bracket to work with

As I thought that car had some detail Ive had 2nd thoughts and added the picture with all 3 cars hopefully one may have better definition - the middle one looks to have a tent for a roof

The rightmost car has a BD plate - Northamptonshire, December 1903 - September 1924.

Is it this model A ford?

The middle one looks like a Morris Oxford "Bullnose" - various versions produced from 1913-1926.

Some similarities, I agree, but on the Ford the chrome round the top of the radiator grille seems to have a more pronounced dip in the middle (for want of a better word); also the oval badge looks a bit more prominent. You might be right, however - the picture in question is much lower definition and contrasty (not the poster's fault), and that means some details get lost.
