This is highly odd as Ts all had black radiators by 1921, but maybe the British bodied ones didn't.

Dates on pre-1929 UK plates can be dodgy - until that point every local licencing office could make up their own rules to some extent. All records were centrally collated in 1929, and we have some hiccups from that transfer. So here 1921 could be date of an ownership change or other local quirk. SE was a slow-running Banff series starting in 1904 and in Jan 1922 had reached SE 1273, so 423 issued several years earlier, maybe even before WW1. Also noted that as a colour photo, the picture may well be 1930s or later so this was an old car then, with scope for non-original fittings.

The car has three stars, so I imagine that it was filmed specially for the documentary, making it a very old car. :)

You know, that there were loads of aftersales market goodies for the T-Model? :p
