If it helps, the coachbuilder was in Spalding.

[Carnut]

If it helps, the coachbuilder was in Spalding.

As Allan L suggested...

[Tom_I]

There was a family of coachbuilders called Wegg in Spalding in the early 20th century. Anything to do with them?

[sixtee5cuda]

As far as I can tell, no connection to Wegg. 

[nicanary]

I have confused myself,and need enlightenment. The coachbuilders were based in Spalding, Lincolnshire, and the name was Messrs. Sta? and Sons, or are there two names, because you said the LAST name started Sta..? So is it Messrs. ?? & Sta? and Sons?

Help!

[sixtee5cuda]

Messrs Stan??? and Son, the last name starts with "Stan".  Located in Spalding, Lincolnshire.

[Carnut]

Stanton? Have we tried that one?

[targhediferro]

Stanley & Sons?

[sixtee5cuda]

Not Stanley, not Stanton

[D-type]

Stanmore?

[Carnut]

Stanford?

[sixtee5cuda]

Not Stanmore or Stanford.  7 letters

[4popoid]

Messrs Stancer and Son, Spalding, Lincolnshire?

[sixtee5cuda]

Not Stancer.  The letter "c" is incorrect.

As 4popoid is one letter away from the correct name, this puzzle is
LOCKED
For his next two attempts.

[4popoid]

Thanks for the lock 'cuda!  I have two alternate possibilities on my list.  First I'll try: Messrs Stanyer and Son, Spalding, Lincolnshire.

[sixtee5cuda]

Not Stanyer

[4popoid]

OK, how about: Messrs Stanger and Son, Spalding, Lincolnshire?

[sixtee5cuda]

Stanger it is!  The point goes to 4popoid.

I found the puzzle image, while researching another topic, of course.  I thought it was an interesting looking, ancient limousine.

I researched further while the puzzle was in progress.  Sadly, I didn't find another vehicle by Messrs. Stanger & Son.
