Can you identify the car in this picture?

Len Huff is researching the history of Abbott and Page & Hunt in Farnham.  This has led him to a lesser-known Farnham coachbuilder Heath & Wiltshire, and he has sent us this picture from the Heath & Wiltshire workshop.

He would be most grateful for an identification of the car in the foreground of the picture.  We are fairly sure that the van at the right is a Model T Ford, but the car has stumped us.  Len thinks that the picture dates from around 1921.  That is logical, because he has an advertisement from 1922 (see below) that shows a landau by this coachbuilder – and there is a very similar car in the background of the main picture.

Can anybody help?  If you can, please let us know through the “Leave a Comment” facility at the bottom of this post.

Any information would be much appreciated.
