I think Fedor has found it.  It'a an Arrol-Johnston called "Guarded Flame" owned by a Mr. Moss and driven in a match race by Miss Ellis against the Austin "Pobble" driven by Miss Thompson. A picture of the race. PS 1908.

Thanks for the interesting addition, only now I saw that the lady was driving.

Thanks for the point. I didn't expect one, I was just adding information to Fedor's answer.
