French, one assumes.
Radiator badge seems to be that of the Aston Martin Owners' Club (hence first guess) which is strange: has it an AM engine, perhaps?

I am confused...how can it be built in Britannia and not be British?

"on a global scale.....not too terribly far from.....Farnham Surrey" does not mean UK only.

I don't recall you asking if the car is from France, nor you asking if it is a French car.

I can find no reputable reference source that identifies "French tickler" as synonymous with "of french origin".

Too oblique for your own good ;D

Quite the contrary. I was well aware of what he meant by the phrase, hence the question I posed earlier in the thread.

Never heard of "tickler" as a term for puzzle?

Quite right. You sure know your stuff...

A brilliant, (presumably) one-off creation from the aviation engineer Andrieux of Rennes, France. He was a friend of Gabriel Voisin and Ettore Bugatti. The Christiane Huit is a unique car with it's straight 8 in line and a patented braking system that was employed also on aircraft.

I saw this really exceptional car some weeks ago at Het Loo Concours dŽElegance at Apeldoorn/NL.

Here are some more interesting photos:

A 1925 photo with no more reliable information.
Is this the same car?

The first Christiane Huit was built in 1926, so it's most probably another car.
