Not that one.
This French car was sold in Britain in the 1920s.
It's name is a hyphenated word representing the first name of the importer and the name of the French make.

It is a 1927 Vernon-Derby. British race driver Vernon Balls marketed the French Derby from 1927 to 1930 in the UK as the Vernon-Derby.
