At the end of 1914 the series had reached KT 3915, so it seems that the car was registered for the road during 1914. It may have been built in 1913 and hung around waiting for somebody to buy it.

"KT 2395 is a 1914 Runabout, first registered in June 1914, chassis no.718, car no.1109, JAP engine no.46491 .... " (page 16 article) Maybe the state of the roads in 1913 meant the journey from Malvern to Kent was very slow and relaxed ...
