Did this maker mainly build smaller cars, or is this larger than I thought?

I believe the only cars built under this brand were the separate racing and street versions of the puzzle car. As for the size, one of my sources does refer to the car as "small." That said, the same source credits the car with a wheelbase of more than 2500 mm--is not at all small by modern standards.

Thanks for your help. My guess was that this car was what the RAC would have referred to as a light car.

The problem is - because most races at Brooklands were run to a handicap formula, just about anything and everything was entered there at some time or other. Even the most pedestrian of cars. I must keep digging.

It was based in a big city, but not Birmingham.

Correct! Locked for you to identify the year and model name.

1922 is the correct year, but my source is a period advertisement that provides a specific name for this competition model, not the hp output. (I do know the engine displacement and top speed, however.) I am looking for this specific model name. Still locked for you.
