If Daimler, Hooper did several Landaulettes about this time on the range of models available - 16/55, 20/70, 25/85 and 35/120, plus really big ones (N.30, R.30). Some rigidly side-on book pics suggest only the big ones (35/120 and N/R30) had wires and side-mounted spares, with moderately big (25/85) having solid wheel covers and concealed spare. But no idea if these are reliable clues or just random picture choices. No clue which ones had double bumpers, but both illustrated Landaulettes had socking great hoods like this.
