Re: Model T in England 1918
That's a U.S. or Canadian factory town car.
If it's left hand drive, then it could be either U.S. or Canadian manufactured.
If it's right hand drive (which it appears to be) then it's Canadian.
The front tires and wheels appear to be 30 x 3.5 and 23" respectively. That also indicates it is Canadian regardless if it is right hand or left hand drive.
Being that it was filmed in England would also mean that it is most likely Canadian.

Ford established a Ford factory at Trafford Park in Manchester UK in 1911 and moved to Dagenham near London in 1931.
As the images are supposedly from 1918 and show British soldiers on 'convalescence' as the Brits called it, they are probably dated from 1917/18.
The model T towncar was probably a taxicab, a very common sight in those days in the UK, and it was no doubt 'British Made'

When in trouble, do not fear, blame the second engineer !
