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.

Doh, looking at the car to much.

Anyway I think it could be a Palladium.

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.

None of this helps anyone............

I immediately thought 'American' as well but that was because of the style of the hats on the mudguard!

I have nothing else to add biggrin
