Does the name start with a letter from the first or second half of the alphabet ?  ;)

I replay with a different clue...the name is formed by 10 letters.

Is that one word or two - like Lea Francis?

Luckily there were not that many manufacturers with a ten letter name, after that it was rather easy. Nice car by the way !

I was waiting in vain for this one to reach the Pros. I knew what it was from the start, but the aerial view of the car had me a little bit surprised - this 1924 model should have the Frazer Nash multiple-chain drive system, and a "trademark" of that was the crab track axle width. The front track should be noticeably wider than the rear, but in this photo there seems to be little difference.

Anyone know why this puzzle car is different? (By the way, I really wouldn't want to sit directly above that rear transmission set-up, not if I wanted a family....)
