I like that sunvisor.

For one point, please respond and identify this car.

That would have been too easy, wouldn't it? It is not a Citroen.

Everyone seems to be thinking French.  I'm not so sure, but I'll go with the flow and try a: 
Peugeot Type 177 from about 1925.

[Wendax]

French, but not a Peugeot

[4popoid]

OK, I have a back-up.  How about a: 1920 LaLicorne B7W4?

[Wendax]

Not a La Licorne

[Tom_I]

Is it a Le Zèbre?

[Wendax]

No

Cognet de Seynes ?

1913 model, 1122cc 4-cyl sv engine. I can't find a model designation.

[Wendax]

Yes, it is a Cognet de Seynes. I think that is enough for the point. In fact it is a Type B, the 7th one built.

Has the puzzle picture been modified, and if so can you post the unmodified version?

[Wendax]

I think I just blackened the number plate, but nevertheless here is the original picture:

Coachwork by Briel from Lyon.

What year was this made? Nicanary said 1913 but it doesn't look that old.

[Hiawatha]

Probably a typing error, I believe the car was made in 1923.

[nicanary]

Probably a typing error, I believe the car was made in 1923.

Whoops ! I actually solved the puzzle by searching through Georgano for cars with a similar radiator shape to the Citroen Cloverleaf - it didn't take long (letter C) to find the Cognet de Seynes. I then went to Google Images and found numerous images of the actual puzzle car - obviously I  must have mistyped the year of the car as it is clearly not a style from pre-WW1, or the date was incorrect on the image site. The problem is, all the images have now been taken off the Image site, so I can't resolve the matter ! Sorry.
