Would appreciate any help in correctly identifying the model years of some of the cars

The RR I know is a 1912 Silver Ghost based on a London to Edinburgh chassis, original body by Barker, body later modified by the Nizam's Railway garage in 1936 at a cost of $500 for the Silver Jubillee celebrations

Napier No 1181, wheelbase 134.5"

Fiat Tipo 54, no 179, 15176 tyres 920 x 120 Michelin

Napier No 1178, date on a device Dec 3 1903

Wolseley, VS&M, 047242 on engine No. 5712

Hope this helps. I can always refer to the cars for additional details whenever needed.
