Yes it is. Not actually a marque itself, but English Mechanic magazine used to provide plans to build cars for aspiring mechanics and engineers.

One point awarded.

Several "English Mechanic" cars were built, and two known survived...
The older one has been auctioned by Bonhams 2018:
...built by Thomas Hyler Whyte, following the instructions of "English Mechanic" magazine 1900: "A Small Motor-Car and how to Build It", Reg. No. A 166

Thank you for the point
