What is it? Quiz #423.

History records that the maker of the car in the picture 'built cars for the upper middle class' and the lady climbing aboard may well meet that criteria. We wonder if she lived in the grand house at the end of the drive behind those fancy gates?
As you have already guessed, the car make was built in Britain but you need to tell us all you can about the car - and perhaps its various  models and changes during production from 1912 to the date it stopped manufacture.

Not quite from out of this world, but definitely beyond the normal sphere of vehicles I identify, the METEORITE was the "light car with high-powered car advantages," even including a magnetic inspection lamp in 1924, but the orbit of the firm's output seems to have been restrained either by sales forces that were not the shining light needed or by the gravitational pull of customers to much more luminous marques with more stellar reputations, thus leaving this firm in the cosmic dust, finances that plummeted into a black hole, and their production amounting to an inconsequential pile of rocks.

It is an Alldays Midget, 1914, most probably the 2 cyl T-head SV engine.
The 1915 cars had a bullnose-like Radiator, and if equipped with the 10 HP 4 cylinder engine, a longer bonnet.
Before 1914, there was no taper bonnet, but a horizontal one.

The car is a Tiny cyclecar manufactured by Nanson, Barker & Co at Esholt, Yorkshire between 1912 and 1915. The 8hp was powered by an air-cooled JAP V-twin engine, had a three-speed gearbox, chain drive and external band brakes on the rear wheels. It was exhibited at the 1912 London Motorcycle Show. The 1913 model was powered by a water-cooled 964cc Precision V twin, had shaft drive and internal expanding brakes. The 1914 model, the 10/15, had a four-cylinder 1177cc Dorman engine. After World War I, the company produced the Airedale car.
