Une Bullnose pour un bouledogue britannique

Thank you gentlemen. Some very interesting and well substantiated comments here!

I own an Alfonso & have studied the mark for many years. What a wonderful photo.
Yes defo Hispano Suiza, very unusual ‘deluxe’ radiator which was an option on all Alfonso models around 1913-1915.
Some radiators were pointed & a very few were curved at the front.
While many were ‘coupe vent’ (the radiator cap was located under the bonnet & not visible) but many were soon converted to radiator caps on top of the radiator as in the photo. By the early 1920’s the owner would have followed the fashion & mounted the ‘stork’ mascot on the radiator cap.
Pity we cannot quite see the ‘Hispano Suiza’ written on front of radiator, steering wheel does look correct & angle of column should be 32 degrees.
Mudguard construction is correct, more curved than the early 1913 models.

I have to disagree with the last comment.

In the first Hispano-Suiza book of Emilio Polo there is a photograph of an Hispano Suiza 16 valves with a radiator exactly like this one, which must not be confused with the typical pointed radiators used in other Hispano Suizas of the period.

The CAV electrical system was the very first one used in Hispano Suiza cars.

The wheels are "Riley patent system" , used in many cars in the 1910s... but we have to look at the chassis of the car, suspensions, rear brakes or steering wheel. In my opinion, 100% Hispano Suiza.

The date is 3/8/1915. The words are 'With Bahut Salamns from Jack'. Jack is presumably the driver, and probable owner of the car. The phrase 'Bahut Salamns' is likely Bengali (slightly mis-spelt) and translated would indicate 'Many greetings'. I am guessing that the photograph was taken in West Bengal, probably Kolkata (formerly Calcutta). The background looks vaguely English, but to a well-tuned eye, the garden gate doesn't look quite right for England.

Now to the car. The headlamps look to be CAV electrics. 1913 is just possible as a date of manufacture, but anything before that would likely have been acetylene. The hubs look very Hispano-Suiza, but the radiator is a real worry. It is true that a few early Hispano-Suizas had V-shaped radiators, but they appear usually to have been black. More importantly, the filler cap never seems to have been that far forward on Hispano-Suiza's. The radiator in the photograph also appears to have a slight forward tilt, suggesting it is perpendicular to the curvature of the radiator at the point of insertion. Photographs of early Hispano-Suizas with V-radiators do have electric headlamps but not in the CAV-style. Finally, there is a photograph of the Hispano-Suiza assembly workshop taken in June 1913 that shows it to be small and surprisingly unsophisticated. All in all, I suspect it may not be an Hispano-Suiza, particularly if the photograph was taken in West Bengal.

It cannot be a Morris either. The nearest it would be would be the wonderful but ill-fated F-type, which had the requisite spoked wheels, but not the right hubs. The F-type appeared in 1923/1924 and would therefore be far too late for consideration.

Finally, the wheels are very large and look to be standard 'Colonial' size; that is 880mm and not 820 mm. This would support the need for high ground clearance. I suspect it is a British car, but I have yet to work out the make.

Yes, Hispano Alfonso XIII with very rare pointed radiator, but still some can be seen with this kind of radiator in period photos, specially rare models like the 16 vale models.

I think it is a Hispano Alfonso.
