Not a Panhard et Levassor or by Fernandez et Darrin.
It's also older than 1932.

No it's not that either
Time for a hint - it's not American (chassis or body)

Not Chapron and by way of a small clue - the coachbuilder is not French...

Not that I'm afraid.....

To sum up (the chassis and coachbuilder are from two different countries)

CHASSIS
French
American (USA)
Italian
British
Czech

COACHBUILDER
French
American (USA)
Italian
Swiss
British
German
Belgian

To narrow things down I think the best bet is to guess the nationality of the chassis and coachbuilder......

By the way, I had to laugh at an earlier remark you posted today about mince pies and relatives of an unsympathetic nature!  ;D

Let's try Belgian chassis with Dutch body.  How about 1928 Nagant by Vanden Plas?
