1906 Beeston-Humber (as distinct from the products of the Coventry factory). Note the sprag - it must be about one of the last cars to have one fitted.

This one appeared the movie "Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines" -

A more recent shot of what may be the same car at the Beamish museum in the UK.

I wonder if this unknown car is the same make.  Similar hood - similar hubs - 

 

May be an image of 2 people and people standing

 

 

Too many differences to be the same car.

Different fenders on the two red cars.

Probably been 'correctly' restored sometime over the intervening 50+ years.

 

I think in the movie they just covered up the L on the registration plate. N is a registration series from Manchester beginning in early 1904.   LN is a 1906 London registration.

 

I suspect the radiator is German silver.
