Wonderful photograph...looking at the cottages in the background, a wild guess on the location would be East Anglia.

From the registration number it is more likely to be Surrey?

Looking carefully, it could be P ? ? ? 4 5 and most plates that start P are Surrey?

'P' issues current in 1924/5 were PE (|Surrey), PM (East Sussex), PP (Buckinghamshire), PR (Dorset), PT (Durham), PU (Essex), PW (Norfolk), PX (West Suffolk) and PY (North Riding of Yorkshire) - take your pick!

In Christchurch, NZ in the early years of last century, Nurse Maude ran a nursing service. A 1923 Austin Seven was gifted to her for her work. Her uniform and car were similar, though not, perhaps, the hat.
The Nurse Maude organisation is very much still going - although now in Japanese hatch-backs.
Her car is displayed at Ferrymead Historic Park.
