Yet another What Car?
Discussion
My best guess - a 1920s Star. Little-known British manufacturer.
For: Evidence of name script in top left of radiator grille; low-ish headlight position; artillery wheels; seemingly a British number plate.
Against: Evidence of a protruding "peak" in the grille surround (bit like a Riley, but not); wing tips don't match with most Star images (although could be coachbuilder-dependent); can't read the script on the radiator; relative rarity at the time.
See what you think.

When I first saw the photo, I immediately thought "American". Artillery wheels, what looked like a visor - which I now think is an opened top half of the windscreen. It's not a Crossley, the shape of the peaked radiator shell is wrong, but it could be a Palladium, but they were always (I think) bodied as open tourers. This looks like a saloon, which takes me back to American.
