Of course, 1921 was a very stupid answer: Karmann started mass-production of the AGA 6/20 PS Limousine from 1922 onwards. As they built up to more than 1.000 different AGA-units, it's quite hard to find the exact date of the puzzle car. Next trial: 1924?

You're on the right track, but not far enough yet...

Yes, it is a four-door 6/20 from 1925. I am enclosing a design drawing of the vehicle.
A year later, AGA went bankrupt. A few more vehicles were probably manufactured until 1929, but then it was finally over.
Enclosed is a picture of an interesting two-tone two-door model from 1924.

Thank you for the point
Obviously the 2-door body version, you've posted, has been called "Amsterdam" (see attachment)
