My first thought PJ, but, if it is, it is a repost of:
http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=28559.0

I'll try: Brierre from 1900/1901.

No

I must admit that in literature it is usually rather referred to the producing company than to its brand name (which is what I am looking for).
Title: Re: Wendax 1515
Post by: Paul Jaray on March 13, 2015, 07:48:13 AM
Does it means that the 'producing company' was named after the builder or has a double name?
I hope, if the 'producing company' was named before, you would have said that, right?

The producing company wasn't mentioned before, but, yes, the company has a "family name".

I would have never found it without that comment.
I had it under 'Fernandez' and it was a name and I knew that they later built some racing cars called 'La Sirene' and It was a double word name! Pfeeeu!  ;D

Post by: 4popoid on March 13, 2015, 11:57:50 AM
Good job PJ!  My thinking was the same as yours.  I had examined "Fernandez" and discarded it as a "family" name, while discarding "La Sirene" because I considered it as two words.  Also I have a source which gives the production dates for "La Sirene" as 1898-1903, putting it outside the stated range of 1900-1901/1902.

Sorry, I didn't mean to mislead you. Both picture sources spoke just of la voiturette Sirène. Here's the original contemporary source:
