No, sorry. Although, this car company was apart of that other famous Group of UK companies.

Armstrong-Whitworth?

No, sorry. This company dates back to the 1800's like Armstrong-Whitworth, but made cars for a lot longer. In fact, decades longer.

Wolseley?

No, all I can say is that it's a company that's just as well known. Not related to Wolseley, but a good guess.

I hate to say it, but no. Not as exclusive as a Lanchester.

Humber?

No, but the companies were very similar. I think you'll get it.

Also, I need the year to complete the puzzle.

Not a Sunbeam, and 1 year later.

1907 is correct, but not as exclusive as a Daimler, and a bit smaller in size and hp.

No... Sunbeam, Rover, Humber and this company all started out the same way, making the same product.

I feel like the solution is very close...

I hate to say it, but no. Riley also started out the same way in the 1800's, Hillman as well, but not in the 1800's.

A couple more tries, and I think it'll be solved.

I should add that it's not an obscure make, it's well known.
