Solved: Wendax 138 - Marquez 8

[Wendax]

I don't know much about this car.

For one point, please respond and identify this car, the engine and the approximate date.

[João]

Circa 1934 Amilcar 1100 Tank?

[Oguerrerob]

1924 Chenard et Walcker 1.1Litre Tank

[Wendax]

Neither Amilcar nor Chenard et Walcker

[Paul Jaray]

Marquez

[Wendax]

That is the car. Locked for you to find the engine used and the approximate date.

[Paul Jaray]

1929, inline 8 (two 4-cylinder Scap 1200cc)

[Wendax]

Congratulations, that is correct. Another point for you.

My source spelled the name Marquès. Unfortunately the frontal pic isn't sharp enough to show the emblem clearly in order to find out.

Some more pictures:

My source - Doyle's 1958 - lists the Argentine-born L.F. Marquez with a 'z'

The entry for Marquez is Automobiles L.F. Marquez, 1 rue Boutebrie, Paris (5e)

[Wendax]

Thanks, woodinsight. The spelling with z seems more probable to me, too. I'll change the Headline.
