Early car, pre-1904

Mr & Mrs Stephen, uncle and aunt of the Cave-Penney family, are shown in an early car. It has a lantern front and sides and no number plate. The Motor Car Act 1903, which came into force on 1 January 1904, required all motor vehicles to carry alphanumeric number plates, so this image must predate that legislation. DRA 2641 WM 011
