Ready to race.

For one point, please respond and identify this car.

Not Canadian and no BMW connection as far as I know.

There's something weird about this photo.  The gent in the overstuffed chair with the missus by his side doesn't seem to belong in the alley with the car.  Was that photoshopped into the puzzle pic?

Wendax

No, it wasn't photoshopped. The lady is standing alongside another car the gent is sitting in. I just thought that one car is enough for a puzzle.  ;D
I'll show the complete photo when the puzzle is solved.

I asked if there was a Canadian connection because the Lady has something on her dress that looks like an oak leaf.  Quiz car has some bagages on its back: were they leaving for a long journey? For a Raid?

Wendax

The decoration is pure coincidence, no Canadian connection at all, I think.
Regarding their luggage I just can guess that they might have been heading for a race, but I don't have any information of the circumstances of this photograph.

Close in several aspects, but not a Spinell.

No, but the company in question was founded in 1922.

So, are we about a 1922, quite obscure, german car?

I think the driver's hat looks a bit Tyrolean, but the car is RHD (unless it's a mirror image), and the woman's dress looks like Northern France or Belgium to me. But what would I know about women's clothes !?
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

Following this clue I guess: Sun Automobil kleinenkraftwagen, 1922. Alphabetically close to Spinell and from Berlin too. Perhaps the men on board could be Henry and Emile Jeannin.

As always, I didn't mirror the picture.
I leave the rest to fashionistas.  ;D
