All I need for a point is the make of this car
No response from the rookies so up to the next level
Response then: French? (Why would I say that...)
French yes but this particular car was sold in a different European country under a different name.
Amilcar Italiana?
Not that

A Talbot, sold in Britain as a Darracq?
Not that one.
This French car was sold in Britain in the 1920s.
It's name is a hyphenated word representing the first name of the importer and the name of the French make.
It is a 1927 Vernon-Derby. British race driver Vernon Balls marketed the French Derby from 1927 to 1930 in the UK as the Vernon-Derby.

Correct - it's the Vernon-Derby of 1927.
