Don't let her wait too long in this heat. (UPDATE V : Singer with 4,5 or 6 louvres)

David Parkinson sent straighforward snapshot hoping for an ID. "I wonder how many people ask you to identify cars?
Do you please have any idea of the type of car in the picture? I tried Mr. McLellan's (...)website and he recommended you. (thank you Robert !)
I would expect it to be a luxury car as the lady at the wheel was in service with a Lord with Scottish connections.

I don’t have a date but about 1930 would seem possible. Unfortunately, several Dodge, Pontiac, Plymouth and Chevrolet models look very similar to this. Could the body be a one off custom built example?

The unusual feature appears to be the extended lines on the side of the engine. All of the cars I have looked at have vertical louvers for cooling. " 

You are right David, the horizontal louvres are characteristic. And we remember having seen those, but remembering the name in today's melting Dutch climate is another thing ...  Our highly esteemed visitors in general are far more quick in this, so we'll wait for their response.

UPDATE by david Swann: Singer's whole model range had these distinctive louvres. See - for instance - the Singer 14 saloon.  David Swann


UPDATE II, Reg Harris is probably closest with BSA 10 HP, at least we found the same louvers here at  British Motor Manufacturers
