It has some right lock on.
I think the right wheel in the first pic shows lot of castor, but I am no expert on this stuff...

It's in good nick for an 87 year old car,it would put a lot of 5 year old cars to shame.

Interesting body....does it have a plate anywhere saying who was the coach builders?
(i.e Rover made the chassis/drivetrain, a coachbuilder made the rest).
Most vintage cars run seriously large amounts of positive camber. Think it was something to do with helping the car stay in a staright line on bumpy unmade roads.
