Thinking 36 Standard Flying 'Heavy' 12 or 37+ Standard Flying 14 or bigger, but doesn't have the plate/taillight recess so maybe something else?

That’s a Daimler 15.

Why is there a dustbin lid sitting in the road?

Somebody nicked the dustbin?

One of the boys used it as a shield?

The naughty lads in the foreground tied it to the Beardmore.

I don't think it is a Daimler of any sort. The split rear windows look wrong to me, there is no "D" on the rear bumper, and surely if it was a "New" Daimler Fifteen, the petrol filler would be on the rear wing?

I extrapolated from this Link to "upload.wikimedia.org"

The linked image looks very Daimler to me, but I see your point about the windows. Bumpers on a 16 year old car especially one that lived through WW2 might be a bit dubious as an identifier, but the windows are most unlikely to have changed.

But not as dubious as assuming that the car is 16 years old and has lived through WW2, or stating "That's a Daimler 15"?

So back to unknown?? Still something British?? Or maybe US??

You stick to your view, I’ll stick to mine. I have not made any assumptions, merely suggestions. The car looks pre-war.
