It has some of the characteristics of a 1910ish GN, but I've not seen this photo before.

[pnegyesi]

1910ish is correct, not a GN though

Can we see an unmodified picture please? Thanks.

P.S.: I note that a major car-related website calls this "Gillyard."

@pnegyesi, is there any fully readable view of this license plate? I'd like to check something.

Although Georgano's Beaulieu Encyclo[pedis has the name as "Gillyard" all other references I can find refer to "Gilyard" as per the OP - company registered as Barkerend Engineering of Bradford.

That's all I have and that's all which was published in The Motor Cycle

Actually, I saw it as "Gillyard" on All Car Index. My old Georgano encyclopedia has it correctly, but that seems to be a different book from the Beaulieu.
