Saw it in passing. This is a tiny part of the overall photo so it's a bit grainy. Sadly I couldn't stop to have a better look.
Model T Ford...?
Going by the reg number it's a 1908 Fiat Tourer, although it doesn't actually look like one to me.
It's a 1921 Studebaker Light Six.
It's a very early forerunner of the Mazda MX5. It's been honed over the years, and has become, as we know, the pinnacle of automotive perfection beloved of petrolheads across the length and breadth of the internet.
Foxy used to have one of these, but he had to park it in the cobbled street outside his house, where horses and carts kept bumping into it.
Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.

You're all wrong. I think it's a TGA Sonet:
Buy one here.
You're welcome.
It's a mobility scooter I think.
Could be a Shoprider Deluxe but I'm not sure.
You're older than I thought............

It's a progression, BP. I'm mid-way through.
Let's call it The Cycle Of Man.
1. Pedal car
2. Trike
3. Bike
4. Saloon
5. Coupe
6. Drophead
7. 2+2
8. Estate
9. Runabout
10. Mobility scooter.

Your deduction may be correct Watson, after all it is Doncaster,
"Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it's enemy action."
'Populism, the last refuge of a Tory scoundrel'.
That's a North-ist statement if ever I heard one! Certainly a curious place to park up. Still, it's a cafe and smelled nice as I went by.
Really not meant that way, Barnsley, Rotherham, Doncaster, Thurnscoe, Goldthorpe, mobility scooter land, its the key to a motability sort of lifestyle.

You see a lot, though most are bought privately, according the manager of a shop I happened to chat to one day. A standard 4mph scooter is only £750. The thing with scooters rather than wheelchairs is that most won't qualify for mobility allowance since most can walk. I would say my dad has two, both bought privately. He can't walk at all and transfers from his house wheelchair in the garage. He's too old for mobility allowance.
Way to go off topic. I can't find a pic of the car above that suggests it's a Model T. Either the rear end is different, or the grill and radiator.
I'm sure you wish that you still owned it, I'll be bound. Beautiful.....what is it BTW?Actually, I used to have this
I think its too big to be a Model T,
It does have the look of an early Fiat.

Think your order and a few categories were a bit out

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
It's a Bean 11.9 from 1921.
"A man of little significance"
Google would tend to agree. Thanks.
Who are you agreeing with, please? IMHO a search on Bean show the wrong shape radiator grill, no spare, no sidelights, a rectangular rear opening in the hood...but I'm no expert (see my guess at post #2).
While "Studebaker Light Six" produces images like this:
Certainly the Studebaker has a hood that's more like the car I saw. I'm now finding it hard to tell the difference. Did Studebaker make any left hand drive cars? Beans were made in Birmingham.
Interesting. If ever I see it again - and it's bound to be fairly local, I'll try and get a better view.
I would have guessed American. I can't read the registration fully though to HPI it.
Try this photo. Might be a bit clearer. ;)
I thought you might know all about it! Your identification was quick and very specific.
It's not yours is it?
It is that car: here's an enhanced image of the number plate.
