Looks as if it might be an early S.A.R.A. 1100 of say 1923
Opinionated but sometimes wrong

The time is about right, but there is no SARA connection, sorry.

Sorry to say that the congratulations came too early. The De Marçay cyclecar looks similar to the puzzle car, but this one is of a different brand. Interesting though for me to see that there exists a De Marçay car in Germany.

Well I guess I get another turn at bat after all.  Might this be a Rally cyclecar from about 1922?
