I think that some of the concerned cars in the IMCDb should be re-evaluated ) I saw a very well restored one some months ago (1922 model)... -- Last edit: 2015-03-10 15:19:58

So ths one has to be listed as such (not only it's a RHD, but also the extra lights on the front fenders define this as a British car). But it's an imported car, because assembly in Slough only started with the 1926 model (with rounded fenders).
