Here are two photos of a new N.Z. Touring. I think it would be a 1913.

Interesting. This car has the curved and billed front fenders that I found the drawing for, dated in 1912 and marked "never used." Maybe it should have said "never used in the US".

The caption for this pictures says:
1913-1914

The Christchurch Garage was an agent for Ford cars and Albion commercial vehicles in 1913-1914. Before this they had retailed a number of other makes as well, including Daimler and Vulcan; from 1915 they were Ford agents only. Source of information: Wise's and Stone's Post Offoce directories.

1913 forward folding windscreen with straight support rods on a 1914 body with doors to suit. That's an interesting mix.

When I was stationed in Christchurch, NZ in 1957 -1959, there was one like that early one or a brass radiator type anyway that was still being used as a daily driver.
The owner didn't use it very often and either loaned or rented it to one of my Navy friends.

The rear mudguards have a reverse curve and it also has fabricated running boards.
