Photo from c. 1920 claims it's a 1909 model T, but a few items have been changed out. Australia, SW.

It either has low tires or they have sunk into the sand. I can't tell what year it is. No body and aftermarket radiator. There is something mounted on the upper left side of the engine.

That appears to be a side-drive magneto Norm.

OR - it could be a combination starter/generator system.

What fun it must have been. Two things I noticed, the front radius rod seems to go under the axle and the brake rod seems to be missing. Although the seat looks big to me the rear door post looks like a '09 or '10 T Touring.
The air pressure is probably just right for sand.
Cool Pic!
