1909 Rover

I photographed this car at the Vintage Sports Car Club's Boulogne and Hawthorn Trophies Race Meeting at Oulton Park in June 2006.
The only note I made at the time is that it was a 1909 Rover and I can't ascertain whether it's a Rover 15 or a Rover 20. Both cars have a 4-cylinder inline engine, the Rover 15 being a 15 hp 2,450cc unit whereas the Rover 20 is a 20 hp car with a capacity of 3,251cc. From photographs I've seen I'm inclined to believe that it's a Rover 20.
