Hi, Have only just come across your enquiry and can advise that the car is Scottish, built in Alexandria near Glasgow, and was expensive. Car production began in 1899 by the Hozier Company making Renault look-alike cars named Argyll. Company prospered, now named Argyll Motors Ltd and become Scotland's biggest c ar maker. They moved from premises in Bridgeton, Glasgow to a grand, purpose-built factory in Alexandria, West Dunbartonshire. The Argyll Motor Works covered 12 acres, had its own railway line, and was opened in 1906. The new factory was never used to capacity, and the company began to decline after founder’s death in 1907. It went into liquidation in 1908. Production restarted in 1910, under a company now named Argylls Ltd., with a new range of cars. This is one of these, a cca 1911 Argyll 12 HP Torpedo Phaeton. Although there is no numberplate to help in dating, this model distinguished by pronounced bulkhead and twin filler caps was only made in 1911 and 1912.
