STRAKER SQUIRE 15-20 TWO SEATER

That's what I found:
Quite an unusual car made in Fishponds, Bristol, by a company which had been making steam trucks and busses from 1899. Confirmed by Chris Thomas, who has a similar car, that this is a cca 1914 Starker Squire 15'20 Two Seater, dated by electric lighting. Company started cars in 1907 and this model was made '11 to 14.
