I know Besset worked on Diatto, Berliet, Hispano-Suiza, Peugeot, Genestin, Delage, Rolland-Pilain, Talbot, Voisin Farman and Bugatti...no mention of a Latil in my sources.
Since I was looking for a Latil Limousine by a particular coachbuilder, when I found that pic I took for granted that it was his...but as you said, there's no mention of the coachbuilder with the pic, so I may be wrong...how do you support your guess?

I simply browsed the well known 'Coachbuilt' source searching for "Latil" and the only result I could find mentioned Besset.
So, that is not an educated guess.

And yes, I obviousely read a little too superficially...  :-\ ;D

If I post another vehicle by that coachbuilder, you'll find it at once....(eventually I'll do)

Could it be by Ottin? Same coachbuilder design made for cars like Cottin & Desgouttes....

Currus?
:applause: :applause: :applause:
Bravo!
I was reading the Coachbuilding volume of the Beaulieu, and in Currus' entry there is reported that he worked on this chassis...but there was no mention of it on the net, how did you find out?

I was checking the very same volume of the Beaulieu on French coachbuilders that were active in that period. 
Thank god the coachbuilder's name started with a C and not with a Z.  :D

Wow!
One point for You and João...and another Latil coachbuilt special as a bonus:

For the sake of truth I can't say that this one is the Sedan coachbuilt by Currus, but that was the name I was looking for..
