A6 - Croxton Six 1916
B9 - Keeton Six-48 1913
C4 - Croxton-Keeton Thirty 1909

...and I had to look for each one of them again...then I saw they are all like that: A - B - AB!!

Now you've got it! I have slightly different years, but (as usual) that's OK.

Of course! Would you expect anything other than total consistency from me?  ;)

Also note that, in each set, the makes are actually related -- i.e., the first two were joined to make the third (either before or after being separate). Thus, I haven't used, say, Frazer / Nash / Frazer-Nash!  :)

One more set to go!!

Is the last combination British?

Nope.

Think of which country might have an ad illustration such as A9 came from.

Well, I just found C2;  it's a Gobron-Brilliè....so, hoping not to bark to the wrong tree, I suppose that B1 is a car built by Eugene Brilliè before he met Gobron to form the Gobron-Brilliè, and that A9 is an advice of the factory after 1918 when it become just Gobron.  About the years I guess A9 1920-24, B1 1903-05, C2 1912.

You've got it!

I actually don't know the year of the Gobron. The only picture I could find on the web of a definite "post-Brillié" Gobron was a rather strange ad with no date given. I have the Brillié as 1905 and the Gobron-Brillié as 1906.

Yes it was - would have liked to have done some of it, but it needed more time than I had available.
