It was that coloured stripe on the bonnet (hood to the founding editors) - many German racers had them back in that period, I think it was something to do with class identification. And the advertising hoarding is in German.

French?

Is this a voiturette?

Please ignore the above. It was a stupid guess.

The clue lies in the advertising hoarding - it mentions Berlin which brings us to Avus. In the 1926 German Grand Prix held at Avus there were 2 entries of 1925 Talbot 1.5-litre cars, and this is the car of Urban-Emmerich race #42.

Here is a photo of what happened to it.
Title: Re: Wendax 1699
Post by: Wendax on September 28, 2015, 12:45:05 PM: Yes, well found. The Czech driver Hugo Urban-Emmerich participated in the German GP with his Talbot from 1926 to 1929.
