Is it German?  It looks related to a Standard Superior, but with three wheels.

Villard 350?
Title: Re: Wendax 900
Post by: Wendax on May 27, 2013, 02:49:24 PM
It is a Villard, and it was available with a 500 cc engine, but this model has a name of its own. Locked for you.
Title: Re: Wendax 900
Post by: targhediferro on May 27, 2013, 05:12:43 PM
This is all I found: Villard began to build a three wheels vehicle in 1924-5, in its Colombe (Rue Colbert 70) factory. This cyclecar had a 345cc two stroke engine coming from Harissard (Gennevilliers, Seine) with a Longuemare carburator. This first product was named type 25 until 1927 when the name was changed into type 27, and then again into type 29-29A in 1929.  In 1929 the factory was in Rue Alphonse Perraud, Paris. Some Villard Sport were produced from 1926 and 1929, and Monsieur Chris won the 1926 Bol d'or.
In 1931 was available also a V4 500 engine, mounted both on three and four wheels vehicles; somewhere this new model is named V4, somewhere else type 33.  Before production ended, in 1935, a new 350 Chaise engine was used.
I suppose that quiz car is a V4 type 33, 500cc.

You are close, so I will give you one more try and a hint, before I open up again. Its name consists of a name referring to the bodywork and a number very close to your guess.

Type 34 coupé?
Title: Re: Wendax 900
Post by: Wendax on May 28, 2013, 06:48:52 AM
34 is correct. The missing part is not exactly the name of a body type, but is more descriptive: Villard xxxx 34.
