A more difficult one now and apologies for the poor image.
Name the make, model, year and coachbuilder and I'll award you one point.

Armstrong-Siddeley 14hp is correct but you're one year out with the date......
The coachwork is not by Burlington though.
I'll go a year earlier, 1924, and guess it has Jarvis coachwork.

You've gone the wrong way with the year Craig.
Not by Jarvis (it's an even shorter name)
QuoteYou've gone the wrong way with the year Craig.
I had a 50% chance of getting right, -so it must be a 1926.
Is it a 5 letter name?

1926 it is and the coachbuilder is a 5-letter name
Grose?

Grose?
Not Grose.....(you are quite close alphabetically)
I'll LOCK it for you in the meantime.
I'm at a loss, I can't find a coach builder that fits the clues. You could unlock this in the meantime, but I'll also keep looking.

Understood Craig - keep searching.....
OPEN for all again
I don't think that it has been established that the coachbuilder is British. If the coachbuilder isn't British, I will take a guess that #1097 is: 1926 Armstrong Siddeley 14hp with a body by Gygax.

Not Gygax.......and I can confirm the coachbuilder is British
I can only think of one five letter British coachworks that is close to G. So: 1926 Armstrong Siddeley 14hp with a body by Hardy.

Not Hardy but it does begin with an 'H'
One would not think that it would be that difficult to locate a British coachbuilder with a name beginning with "H", and having a total of five letters. Well it isn't proving out that way. After multiple hours of searching, I came across only one possibility, and not a very good one at that (the founder died in the 19th century!). In desperation I'll say: 1926 Armstrong Siddeley 14hp with a body by Hines.

Not Hines............but H--es
They also bodied other makes.
LOCKED for you until your next answer
Great clue. I think I may have located the coachbuilder. 1926 Armstrong Siddeley 14hp with a body by Howes.

Yes, that's correct - well found and another point for you.
