Perhaps you have AC Ecosse Ltd (another source gives this definition);  than I found that this firm bought the rights to build this car from a certain ME (Mid Engined) Ltd that built an AC 3000 based car.

MINERVA IMPERIA
[/quote]

Minerva, a Belgian automobile manufacturer which was badly beaten by the 1929 Depression was reorganised in 1934, but the following year the new company became part of Mathie van Roggen's Impreia-Excelsior group. A handful of Minerva AP's continued to be made at Antwerp, as were commercial vehicles, but the rest of the prewar Minerva-Imperias were no more than FWD Imperia TA9s. They were sold as Minervas on the French and British markets..

Not that good, just lucky!

191 please

191: AERIAL
My luck using my cars' registration numbers seems a bit variable and in this case I have found nothing - unless you include radio aerials fitted to cars.
I don't think that buying a clue will help, so I'll take the hit and give up again!
Opinionated but sometimes wrong

OK, I was looking for the Signature, the Fiat-based model they took from AC...but I'm pretty sure it's the same company and that's a game...you can shoot a new number.

#500, please.

Happy new Year!

AMERICAN (1)
Happy New Year to you, too.

I couldn't have chosen a more ambiguos name, couldn't I?
I hope it is the earliest one, which would make it the American Carriage Motor Company from New York City, building a two-stroke four-cylinder engined car in 1896.

BUGATTI (1)
Is it perhaps that obscure marque of not so loved cars, founded in Molsheim by a certain Ettore Bugatti in 1909?  I'm crossing my fingers...
