Quite easy to identify the maker, and I think not so difficu lt to find model, year and coachbuilder.  A point for a complete answer.

Maybach Type W3 22/70 hp closed body.  This model was made 1921 – 1928, but I'll guess the puzzle is from about 1923, with a body by Spohn.

The date and coachbuilder were guesses, but I think that I have now located the exact car. I'll say the puzzle car is: 1925 Maybach W3 22/70 hp closed body, by Auer.
