Neither Shamrock nor Vertex.

Hint: Earlier cars by the same maker looked very different.

Not Century, but you've got the right general idea.

No... and you're not very close alphabetically.

Not James & Browne, and not Withers. Neither of those names is very close alphabetically either.  ;D

Also, keep in mind that this make started after 1900 and ended (as far as seems to be known) before 1910. According to my handy Georgano book, Withers does not fit that criteria as it lasted until 1915.

No, and wrong part of the alphabet. But it looks like you've found a make from the right county in England.

No. Wrong part of the alphabet and (according to the information I have) wrong part of England.

Right part of England, wrong make, and wrong part of alphabet. (Hint: It's closer to the middle than to either end.)
