I'd say that's a (French) 1921-1927 Sima-Violet with a 500 cc two-cylinder two-stroke engine.

True. A 1924 car from my source.
I thought that some of us would appreciate some slightly older cars for puzzles.

I would have appreciated it, but I missed it!
Are you sure it's not an Alcyon

[Ray B.]

Quite sure. Although there are a few differences in this ad, it seems obvious.

A copy of a Hungarian-language brochure - something which is extraordinarily rare

Cool - and what a wide production range!

[pnegyesi]

And to make it more interesting: the original brochure is in Munich

May I ask if it is a public archive?

[pnegyesi]

no, it is at a private person, a Hungarian living in Germany.
