The steering wheels seems very big, but perhaps is the body to be small. May we consider this car a cyclecar?

Well France and Germany have been ruled out, but I think I see influences of both, so I will guess Switzerland.  Fortunately, if I am correct, I can find only two Swiss cyclecar manufacturers in the correct time frame (about WWI).  The puzzle car doesn't resemble the only photo of an Egg that I could locate, and I can't find any photos of a Speidel.  Therefore, I will have to venture a guess, and say that, if the puzzle car is actually Swiss, it is a Speidel from about 1916.

Well done, it is a Speidel (or Paul Speidel as the logo says). Speidel built just a few more than 12 cars from 1915 to 1922. This is his last one, built for the 1922 Swiss Grand Prix, powered by a two-cylinder 620 cc Müller-Vogel engine.
