The information from the book that I sourced this puzzle from is very limited, as is information on the internet, so to be very honest I don't know the answer to your questions, but I suspect that the Company was active for less than 10 years.

Sorry Luisps, but this vehicle was made my a very obscure brand that I really can't find much more information about, so I don't know if it built any other models after 1910. Sorry!

:applause: Hey, at last, that's the one! Very well done Luisps, and a much-deserved point to you. The Marples taxi was built briefly in the High Holborn area of London by Stephen A. Marples.

Thanks Djetset, it has been a very nice investigation for me. But in reality this car has a lot of information in the web. Lok for " A New Design for a London Motorcab." in the Magazine "The Commercial Motor" 27th June 1907, Page 3. You'll see a full technical description with several pictures of the cab.

Ah, thanks for the tip Luisps. I found my limited information and Puzzle picture in a very old book about London taxis, and struggled to find anything more about it on the internet.
