This is going to have to be a guess - 1930 Walter 6B ?

So this car must date about 1922/23. What do you need to know, the coachbuilder? I am going to have to guess again - Sodomka ?
1923 is correct, then the project began. Sodomka with it has nothing to do. It's Walter from a simple name.
I think we may have a small problem with translation here, which is obviously going to happen from time to time. When you say "simple" I suppose you mean it's a very normal name for the car.
So is the answer a 1923 Walter WIZ Sports ?
Sport - Yes, but little more.
:thumbsup: but not.
NO.
I reckon we'd better get this one finished with - Sport cabriolet ?
Sport is all right, but not the roadster. Other sport.
Sport Racer?
Racer - NO.
I'm sorry but I don't completely understand what is missing. Is the extra word you are waiting for , a part of the official maker's name for the car, or another word to describe the style of the car or bodywork?
Missing word determines the style of the vehicle, commonly used title. WALTER ????? SPORT.
2-seater?
5-seater. WALTER ***** SPORT.
Walter Super Sport?
Walter Touring Sport
:bow:The race specialized stores Walter Super Sport , the latest version of Project " W - 0". Point for Wendax.
Milos, please lock the puzzle next time. Nicanary was almost there and he should have deserved the chance to finish this off. Thanks

Quite so.
I was pretty sure the answer would be Super Sport but I didn't post as I didn't think it fair to try to pinch nicanary's point..
Sorry, my mistake. Point deserves to have it for Walter. Question for nicanary: The name of this vehicle.
Sorry, photo.
The odd thing is, even though it wasn't locked for me, I took so long and didn't get the correct designation. Other puzzlers had the chance but didn't post for several days, so I don't mind at all - it was me being blind. Now I know the answer it's very obvious.
Try the name of this vehicle? Builds on the previous.

Milos62 - thank you for being helpful and giving me another try. This is clearly another Walter, but I don't know anything about it. The only reason I got anywhere near an answer last time was through luck, and trying numerous questions, and the fact that nobody else attempted the puzzle for a few days.
Eastern European cars are not my speciality. We know very little in the UK about these cars - if I Google Walter cars there is a Wikipedia entry with a short history of the marque, but nothing else. Google Images only shows a few production passenger cars. Even Georgano's Encyclopedia of Motor Sport is very brief, with little information of any use.
Once again, thank you, but I suggest that this extra puzzle of yours would make a good post for all Pros, and i think the best thing would be to move it to that section. I cannot answer it!
