Is this a Snow ?- All I know about them is they were reputed to have been in business in 1904-5 and were based in Croydon,

This is a 1904/5 Croydon registered car.

The registration would make sense, but I'm afraid it's not a Snow.

Is this the Imperial made in Croydon (1904-05)?

Not an Imperial. Actually it's not from Croydon, but the same area.

Well found. Power was a 6.5hp Aster engine.

Another point to your total.

Made by the same company that made the odd-looking pointy-nosed race car (as seen in Georgano):
