Re: A few from here, a few from there.
this Tourabout appears to be a very early 1909. Square bill front fenders & screw on brass trim - wood running boards.
That puts it in the below 2,500 serial number range.

The 12th picture looks like Jay Leno. What's that strange accessory on the windshield?

The 7th picture looks like the car that climbed Ben Nevis in the U.K.

Re: A few from here, a few from there.
There's something out of the ordinary going on in the 7th picture. It looks like a brand new car, stripped of extraneous weight. I doubt if the gentlemen were out driving in the rain in a new Ford in that condition just for pleasure. But if the fenders, etc, were removed to reduce weight, I'd think the driver would not want to carry a passenger. Maybe the rider is a photographer.

Re: A few from here, a few from there.
Pat, that appears to be a more recent picture like the one with Jay Leno. Possibly a restoration in progress.

Re: A few from here, a few from there.
I suspect, that picture seven was taken on or about the hundredth anniversary of the famous model T climb up Ben Nevis Mountain which took place about 1911.
I had heard about the effort to recreate the climb, but never saw pictures of the event. As I recall, a full ascent was not possible due to legal issues for a motor vehicle on the mountainside, and walking pathways on which they were not allowed.
This particular photo looks like an attempt to recreate one of the most famous photos from the original ascent.
It and the Jay Leno picture appear to be the modern interlopers.
All wonderful photos regardless! Thanks again Tom R!
