I don't know who did the coachwork, neither whether it was a genuine work or a later transformation.

Steyr XX? The year would be hard to determine for sure, especially with such custom coachwork. Possibly as early as 1928, likely no later than 1934. If it's a Steyr at all . . .

Spot on! There is a Steyr XX underneath. I don't have a year either.

A well-earned point for you.
