A hard nut to crack?

For one point, please identify this car and the year.

European?

Wendax · November 01, 2011, 05:47:13 PM

French?

Alva Sport from 1921?

Wrong make and year.

Found it! It is a 1924 Madou. The company from Paris existed from 1922 to 1925. They built a 6/9 HP, a 7/11 HP and a 10/13 HP with engines by Ruby, Scap and Cime.
