Not 100% sure, but I believe it is not from Europe.

I think I've found it! It looks much like Vaghi Bambina c.a 1923. It is from Italy then.

I have it as a Bambina; the article I pulled it from had little detail. Sorry about the 'not Europe' red herring.

Point is yours.

It's certainly ugly, but here on Autopuzzle.com are very strong competitors for that contest ...

There were some quite competitive entrants for the ugly car competition parked nearby when I took the photos!

Aaargh!
I hadn't bothered to search as I was sure we wouldn't have had it!
I think the saloon version revisits the "ugly car" claim quite unbeatably. ;D

This car had a certain success in Italy, and the British dealer sold only 2 of them under the Bambina name.
In 1923 they arrived 7th and 8th in the cyclecar category at the Pontedecimo-Giovi (driven by Attilio Vaghi and Nino Bianchi) and they were 1st 2nd and 3rd with Platé, Bianchi and Vaghi at the GP Cyclecar in Monza, were they beated the Anzani squadron. These cars (in my 3rd pic) were not modified for the race, except the missing parts(windscreen, cover, lights....) and with Bianchi the fastest lap was at 94 km/h, average speed!
