I don't know any more about this photo than the following:

"The mayoress, Mrs Blamires, and other ladies are sitting in a Model T Ford on Alexandra Rose Day, 1914. Their chauffeur is standing in front of the car."

Interesting to note the side lamps are British CAV model G electric - the largest in their range .Hard to see the headlamps , but if this pic was in England , only side lamps were compulsory after dark and some cars were never fitted with headlamps.

Victor Down under - only slightly further north in Brisbane .

A couple of thoughts...I doubt the splash aprons are steel...they look flexible, possibly leather. Nothing familiar about this body. Fenders do not look suited to the car, especially the rears. Landau top has no landau irons. Windshield looks like the 13-14 Town Car, but the rest of body looks earlier, especially the notched bottoms on the coach doors which are similar to the 09 thru early 11 Town Car.
Regards,
Scott
