Solved: PN #123 - cca 1923 WAF

What's this car? If you identify it correctly, I give you a point. It's number plate was Bp 23-542 - if you go to a local library in Budapest, you can find out its identity superquick :)

I think it could be an Austrian W.A.F., made by the Wiener Automobil-Fabrik in Vienna (obviously!).

I'm not sure of the model. The picture below is the only one I have, and has some similarities. It is captioned "1925 W.A.F. 15/45 PS straight-8 tourer", but I think that may be wrong. There was a 70-hp 6-cylinder model, so 45 for the 8-cylinder sounds too low. I don't know, though, as I have no other details.

Yes, it is a WAF. I don't know the exact model, but I suspect you may be right. Good job!
