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

My Wolsely 3/12 has the same louvres. So it's not tipycal for a Singer.

Google images has a heading "vehicle history" from 'BSA Scout 1939 ' showing more than one late '30'model with louvres both ways - horizontal on more sporting models, vertical on saloons. See also Culshaw 1997 p96.and p273 Singer

I've changed my mind having consulted "the Automobile" for December 2002 which has a feature on the Singer Super Six. The delightful Art Deco louvres give it away, although of the majority of the photos in the Automobile show vertical louvres, they are shown in the advertising artwork.

David Swann is surely right. The tapered louvres starting and finishing at an angle are a recognisable feature of this Singer. BSA louvres are not tapered and the rear ends are in a vertical line.

David is well off the mark in trying to identify the car by comparison with large American cars (Dodge, Plymouth etc) The Car is definitely English, about 1932 and the bonnet louvres point to it being a 10 hp BSA. Since these were closely related to the Daimler he is correct in assuming it is an up-market, if not luxary model

This is clearly a Triumph. What model I'm not sure. I could be on a Super Nine or a Ten. However, those louvres bother me. Could be the elusive and rare Triumph 12/6 Scorpion?

Might it be a Standard 9 or 12hp of about 1932?These cars had horizontal louvres but in two blocks.Might it also be a coachbuilt body rather than a factory product?

Could be a Singer. Possibly a 1930/1 Super Six. The horizontal louvres are certainly identical in design and number, however Singer made a large variety of medium sized cars in the thirties, so it could be another model.
Why is an American car always the first thought? We are in Europe after all.

The louvres on a Wolseley 12/48 Series III are closer spaced and have a chromed casting at the front. The engine on a Triumph Scorpion is further forward in the chassis so the radiator is in front of the centre line of the front axle, the wheels on a BSA have smaller hub caps and visible nuts, and the Standard Twelve has a shorter scuttle with no ventilator.
