Did the company build cars for more than 5 years?

Is the engine size a 8/... PS?

Due to the increased popularity of this puzzle I revisited the site where I took the picture from.
Here's a much better picture of the puzzle car. There's a caption which says this car was made in 1926. But the brand name featured wasn't in existence in 1926.
How should we proceed?

It is not an Alfi and I don't know anything about its engine

Allemano

judging by the logo it could be Dinos.

It is the Bravo, built in 1921 by the Union-Kleinauto-Werke from Mannheim. The first ones had a 4/10 PS two-cylinder engine, later ones a four-cylinder unit. The company was taken over by Rabag in 1922.

Yes, it's a Bravo - claimed to be from 1926, but in reality it was probably bought in 1926

The four cylinder engine was a Steudel unit of 1016 cc displacement and 12 hp.

Lots of people have seen this picture and so far nobody has identified it – surely it can't be too difficult? Looks like a Swiss or German product from the early 1920s. Can anyone confirm what it is?

Very interesting, unfortunately I haven't found a match for the radiator emblem though.
