Sorry, but that's not the way we're doing it here..
Ask one question per reply and you may get the hint you've craved for.
I know, it's a cruel game sometimes, but most of us felt that pain before. ;D

I just checked, because sometimes I make mistakes, but there's no mistaking - accidentally I received a magazine yesterday which features this car.

Delahaye Type 32, ca 1910, body by Phénix, a french coachbuilder from Levallois-Peret - like many carmakers and coachbuilders at that time.
