Can someone id this car please?

As title. Can anyone identify the car in the photo? If it helps, the picture is supposed to have been taken in 1912.

Sorry, I have no idea but if you do not get an answer here, you can send a mail to www.prewarcar.com. I am sure someone there can help you.

Looks a bit like a Rolls Royce to me. I've got a Matchbox model showing similarities on my desk.

I was just about to post "not with wooden artillery wheels" but I checked Google Images, and some of them did.

I would think it's more like a Buick from about 1912/14.

Too small (particularly too short) for a 40/50 Royce, and it's got semi-elliptic rear springing, the one sort they didn't use!
Looks about right to be a US built job like a Buick or Studebaker (or EMF) but there are very few distinguishing features in that view of it.
It just could be a 15 h.p. Star (from Wolverhampton) like this:

I agree it looks American - Cadillac Model 30?

Thanks for the answers so far guys.

I'm told the photo was taken in England. Were the US built cars of the period mentioned sold in the UK at that time?

Well spotted as regards the rear suspension!

Is is a simplex?
