Manuel, it isn't a Humber. But, the company that made this car, were very similar to Humber in a lot of respects, if that makes sense.

They were, you are on the right track. It's LOCKED for you to tell me which company, and an approximate year.

OK Craig. It may take some looking into. The Rootes group had quite an extended family.

That's ok. There are only really a couple of possible choices, one company specialised in these types of vehicles more than the other, if that helps.

I can't seem to find much on the roots of the Rootes group.
They were quite a large family with Commer, Hillman, Humber, Karrier, Singer, Sunbeam, Sunbeam-Talbot, Talbot and who knows what else the brothers owned. [was Darracq involved?]

Cheers

You've named this car, above. This car normally didn't have a radiator on the front, typically they had a chair. Still LOCKED for you.

I don't know if Darracq were apart of the Rootes group, perhaps as a part of Sunbeam-Talbot-Darracq.

A Singer it is. It's a Singer Tricar, but has been fitted with a radiator instead of a chair at the front.

The year is 1907, which maybe hard to pick, so I'll just award the point.

1 point for Manuel.

rather it will Arrol-Johnston

Automotive industries 1907
AUTOS FOR EGYPT'S SANDY PLAINS.
London, April 4.—British automobile manufacturers have paid a considerable amount of attention to automobiles for use in Egypt. Last year the Arrol-Johnston company produced a high-built car which has proved a success in actual service in the desert. A radical departure from previous designs is shown in a combination of tri-car and trailer recently constructed by Singer & Co., of Coventry, for the Department of Mines of the Egyptian Government.
