A6 - Croxton Six 1916
B9 - Keeton Six-48 1913
C4 - Croxton-Keeton Thirty 1909

...and I had to look for each one of them again...then I saw they are all like that: A - B - AB!!

Now you've got it! I have slightly different years, but (as usual) that's OK.

Of course! Would you expect anything other than total consistency from me?  ;)

Also note that, in each set, the makes are actually related -- i.e., the first two were joined to make the third (either before or after being separate). Thus, I haven't used, say, Frazer / Nash / Frazer-Nash!  :)

One more set to go!!

Nope.

Think of which country might have an ad illustration such as A9 came from.

Well, I just found C2;  it's a Gobron-Brilliè....so, hoping not to bark to the wrong tree, I suppose that B1 is a car built by Eugene Brilliè before he met Gobron to form the Gobron-Brilliè, and that A9 is an advice of the factory after 1918 when it become just Gobron.  About the years I guess A9 1920-24, B1 1903-05, C2 1912.

You've got it!

I actually don't know the year of the Gobron. The only picture I could find on the web of a definite "post-Brillié" Gobron was a rather strange ad with no date given. I have the Brillié as 1905 and the Gobron-Brillié as 1906.

Final scores:

ropat53 - 3
targhediferro -3
Paul Jaray -2
Wendax - 1

A1 - Scania (1901)   / B2 - Vabis (1903)    / C7 - Scania-Vabis (1920)      targhediferro
A2 - Hammer (1905)   / B5 - Sommer (1905)   / C3 - Hammer-Sommer (1904)     Paul Jaray
A3 - Siddeley (1904) / B4 - Deasy (1906)    / C5 - Siddeley-Deasy (1912)    ropat53
A4 - Hansa (1910)    / B6 - Lloyd (1911)    / C8 - Hansa-Lloyd (c1926)      ropat53
A5 - Crane (1912)    / B7 - Simplex (1909)  / C6 - Crane-Simplex (1916)     Wendax
A6 - Croxton (1913)  / B9 - Keeton (1913)   / C4 - Croxton-Keeton (1910)    Paul Jaray
A7 - Haynes (1914)   / B3 - Apperson (1907) / C1 - Haynes-Apperson (c1900)  ropat53

Yes it was - would have liked to have done some of it, but it needed more time than I had available.
