OK, no activity on this one... time to move it to pros.

(Wow... I thought no one was ever going to do anything with this one!)

Nope... but you're not far off geographically.

Nope -- A little earlier, and probably a little less well-known.

Colombe? Villard took over production from them round about 1925

Nope.

Besides, I already did Colombe in an earlier puzzle.

BTW, I have been unable to find any information on a car called "Rouquet." Besides that, I'd like to point out one feature of this car that my source treated as notable:  Apparently it was "more car" on three wheels than most of its peers were (esp. the likes of some named thus far, like Colombe & Cyclauto).

Is this car a four-wheeler in fact?

Nope. (That was true of the Caffort, though.)

Rouquet (F) c1920-1927
Charles Rouquet, Pau; Paris

There were two distinct types of Rouquet. At Pau Charles Rouquet had a cycle factory where he aslo made some motorcycles, 3-wheelers and quadricycles, powered by Zurcher, Indra, Aubier-Dunne and Wilier engines. There were made until the mid-1920s, and then in 1927 a light 4-wheeled car was announced from 15 rue Lorumel, Paris, by Charles Rouquet, presumably the same man though this has not been proven. It had a 4CV 2-cylinder engine, 3-speed gearbox and tubular integral frame, Open and closed 2-seater bodies were offered, and one of the former survives today. Charles Rouquet also designed the 1920 Cyclauto.

That's it!

REGINA (F) c1922-1926
The Regina was a 3-wheeler with single front wheel and a 4-cylinder engine mounted transversely at the rear. This could be started from the driver's seat. The Regina was available as an open two-seater or, surprisingly, as a four-seater saloon.

No relation to an earlier French make of the same name (1903-08).
