Hi, is that a Peugeot, perhaps type 143 from 1913?
Not a Peugeot. Not entirely French, either.
Is it a Corre La Licorne ?
It is not.
Circa 1912 Humber 12/20?
Not a Humber. Remember not entirely French was an earlier reply/clue.
Napier?
No sir.
Can't say I really understand that clue (I didn't even realise it was one), but how about a 1912 Le Zèbre A?
And what about a 1911 Berliet AK (I didn't take time to check what wasn't french in this one)

The clue was meant to let folks know that while this car is not all French (like a Peugeot, for instance), there some Frech in it.
Not a Le Zèbre .

No
Not entirely French... makes me think of Sunbeam-Darracq or Talbot-Darracq. But I couldn't find anything matching, though.
No, neither of those...
:bump:
Circa 1911 Sunbeam 16/20?
No sir.
Some Czech relation?
No
Maybe British car with French coachwork?
Sorry, folks. My earlier clues appear to have been incorrect. This car is 100% French, apparently.
Le Zébre?
No sir.
Yesterday, by pure accident, I stumbled upon it: a 1914 Vinot (or Vinot-Deguingand) AM Tourer. I am anything but an expert of the era; here is what a respectable source says of the name of the manufacturer:
The double-barrelled name Vinot-Deguingand was only used early in the company's history; once the cars became established they were always known simply as Vinots.
They introduced their first cars as early as 1901, so a 1914 model might fall into the 'established' period I suppose?
You are right (about the name), was Vinot after 1907 till 1925 and from 1928 simply Deguingand and Vinot & Deguingand from 1901.
Let me clear up the confusion then.
It is a, first built and registered in 1910. I believe the coachwork dates to 1914, hence the confusion. Since I didn't ask for the year, the point is yours, Ehhxekt
Only six examples of this car are known to have survived. It is a combination of French chassis and running gear fitted with English-built coachwork.
As they used to say in Messkirch and Rastatt
in Vinot Veritas ;D
