1927 Buick.I believe in UK only, side lights were all mounted on the fenders up until 1932 ?.UK '32 Fords have the "cowl lights " mounted on the fenders.

Chauffeur looks Asian - maybe picture was taken in the colonies?

Agree on the appearance of the chauffeur but the plate looks regular UK issue.

PF would have been issued in Guildford, Surrey.

Ah, yeah, I haven't a clue as to English licensing - guess the car could have been imported to Asia...or the chauffeur to England.

I love that the two photos are taken at almost the exact same angle. Very cool.

PS: We just had a little snow this past weekend.
