    Morris oxford and morris cowley existed Your zoom in shows a carbide acetlyne generater on the running board the riveted bonnet hinge is interesting . The headlight mounts seem to have "breathers "on them same as the side lights . The womans dress And fashion shoes appear to be pre 1920s. the front axle has a transverse spring which is interesting as I dont know of a british design . but the hub capping appears to be early humber but they didnt show up that early . Theres a possibility that its a BSA but they were rare outside Britannia and there are no photos showing all models more work to be done

    I have no doubt that the date of 1922 that is written on it is correct. So this carbide acetlyne generator powers the headlights and side lamps I presume ?
    I also found the riveting a bit unusual compared to photos of cars of the period. I thought the rivets would actually be a bit of a giveaway and give easy identification of what it was. Wrong
