No, but you're getting much closer alphabetically.

By the way, I used the Pullcar in a group puzzle many years ago:

Slowly I am running out of manufacturers of that time period in Lancashire: Ribble, may be?

Ribble it is! I think the year is 1906 but I'm not completely sure.

If you do a search on the web for "1904 Ribble tricar," you'll see a picture -- which many people have prints of for sale -- of what earlier Ribbles looked like.
