In the 9th photo, Im guessing it has an OHV set up from a Chevy by the emblem on the radiator shell.
The bald rear tires may be due to that or not.
Great batch Tom! Keep em comin.

The greengrocer's truck is a late model TT with the same size front and rear wheels. It makes them look much more purposeful.

The roadster in the third photo is almost identical to a car that was in my wife's family. We believe it was a Tarrant bodied roadster of around 1915-16.
The young girl in the photo was my Grandmother in-law who lived to make 100 years old. She would tell us the most incredible stories about growing up in the 1920's on a sheep station situated right on the Darling River in New South Wales Australia.

James, I think you are correct in identifying the roadster as a Tarrant bodied car. The crowned, round fenders and the rounded front on the radiator top tank are distinctive. The sidelights on the photo you posted are consistent with 15-16. Tom's photo shows a somewhat earlier car, with other-than-Ford sidelights. There is an original Tarrant roadster in South Australia and there are differences in the construction of the turtledeck, but the same crowned fenders are there.

The FORD factory is the SE corner of the Trafford Park, Manchester factory where Fords were built from 1911 to 1930. As you can see from the doors, it was a former tram depot.
