Ever seen this ?
I know very little about it myself, especially not the make.

This is a 2 point puzzle.

This is the 1946-1951 in Ingatestone, Essex/GB built Larmar.
It was powered by an 1-cyl. engine with 249cc and 8 bhp. Later there also was a 350 cc version with 10 BHP available.

Quite different from the picture showing some elegant lady it mainly was built for war-disabled or other invalid persons.

Thanks a lot, Allemano.
To speak the truth, I am not too happy that you would kill a sweet puzzle like this for no more than two hours, but I am amazed.
This poor puzzle didn't even come from the internet: I thought he had weeks, even months, ahead of him. Resisting all efforts to crack it, giving you all bad dreams. Then WHAM! I am puzzled!

Two well-deserved points.

[Allemano]

Don't fret!  It's very easy if you have the right literature!

  Now I see that I also know this car (but I have just some small coloured pictures of it - that's why I couldn't figure it out 

However, both pictures from Ray B. and Allemano are very interesting!

Another nice picture of that car, with another watchful lady driver.

[Allemano]

Got it on the same source I guess....
