Though Fedor was the first one, both of you get a point for your efforts. But in the future please look at the list of answers before you submit yours :)! Thank you

I'm confused.  In 1923 would it have been a Talbot or a Talbot-Darracq?

The more you learn, the more you realise how little you know.

William Court reckons Talbot-Darracq, but Georgano points out in his encyclopedia that the name changed according to the country in which the cars were racing. He also says the general rule was that if the engine was under 1500cc it was always just Talbot. This voiturette would have been 1100cc, so presumably it's a Talbot.
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

Yes, it was a Talbot. I did not have time to reply to Fedor before the even more detailed reply has arrived
