oops, slight mistake - not 1924 but 1926 is the year, but the car was the same in 1924 and in 1926 as well :)

I've this same car as a MORANO-MARGUERITTE Course but not 1926, in my source says 1928

I've found additional information, in other picture from the race Bol d'Or of 1928 this car was running with the number 98 and the name MARGUERITE Course (with a single T) and type BO2

And that is the solution :) The car is from 1926
Made with a Chapuis-Dornier engine

If as it looks confirmed the car was made in 1926 it shoul be a MARGUERITE as the company become MORANO-MARGUERITE in 1928 when Mr. Zamorano purchased the company to Mr. Marguerite.
