johnfromstaffs wrote SM 4409. 1924 plate of the County Council of Dumfries.

1924 Galloway 10/20hp. Tongland, Kircudbright, Scotland; then moved to the Arrol-Johnston factory at Heathhall, Dumfries, Scotland. Apparently 1842 of this model produced by the largely female workforce. Thought it might be the first on the site, but there you go, it is, however, in use in its original form.

 You're really wishing for a Scottish flag as origin, huh, dsl? :D

 Yes. And then we can fully recognise the mighty Imp's origins, alongside many other Rootes-jewels, Volvo P1800s, early Rover 3-Litres, umpteen trucks and buses, and more Obscure Old Things like this.

from here. "The firm was founded in 1920 as a subsidiary to another Scottish motor-car maker, Arrol-Johnston. Initially produced at a factory in Tongland, Kirkcudbrightshire but in 1923 this switched to a new facility in Dumfries. Perhaps therefore the car shown on this page was a works' demonstrator, or test car, registered as it was in the same area? Two models were built throughout the short life of Galloway. First was the Galloway 10/20, a small car powered by a 1460cc sidevalve engine from 1920 through to 1925, and I suspect the car shown here is an example of the 10/20. In 1925 the 10/20 was replaced by the 1669cc 12hp model, which was in essence a re-badged version of a car designed by the parent company, Arrol-Johnston. Initially known as the '12', it would later become the 12/30 and finally the 12/50, before production ceased altogether in 1929...... also an 11.9hp van listed for 1926-1928, rated at 10cwt and weighed 15cwt."

Seems XP 3077 is a "1924-season Morris Cowley "Chummy". Apparently, the spare wheel of Cowley Chummies is mounted in a well on the offside running board for the 1924 season, but at the rear for the 1925 and 1926 season."

 Don't forget the Skeoch, Burnside Works Dalbeattie Kirkcudbrightshire.

Almost as obscure as the Hillman Imp is today.

 Who can forget the Skeoch - only 8 made, but it left an indelible mark. Somewhere.

Excellent book - In the Driving Seat: A Century of Motoring in Scotland (Jack Webster, 1996) - very cheap on Amazon lists 43 different Scottish car makes 1898-1930 among loads of other bits and pieces. Scotland's Motoring Century (Robert Grieves, 1999) a fascinating picture book with detailed captions - another good read and again cheap on Amazon.
