Fellow Autopuzzlers, for a point please tell me the marque and approximate year of this car.

Don't be naughty! Stay away from Google Search by Image, kids.

Not Sayers. The year is close.

little known company ?
Yes, I guess it is, since it is a marque that has never appeared in AP so far

Boy, you do come up with some really tough ones. I had to search the archives for this one . . . at first I thought it was a Jackson, but now I'm pretty sure it's a Hollier (which was actually related to the Jackson). The year is 1918.  Good puzzle - the search is often the best part of the solve.

Well done fyreline! Glad you had fun. I often post puzzles I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to crack myself, and this was one of them! I never cease to be amazed at the knowledge and resourcefulness of Autopuzzlers.
