Perhaps another French marque?

They have a GN look about them but for some reason I think they may be Salmson-built GNs in a French cycle-car race.
Opinionated but sometimes wrong

Very good!

Those are british built GN cyclecars, photographed in Salisbury at the 1920 London-Exeter-Race.

Enough for a point as I do not have any more details...

By way of name-dropping I was on a VSCC Rally yesterday and one of the other competitors was a 1921/4 GN - with a claimed 1700cc it is more than just a cyclecar!
I must see if I can find out about that race . . .

 ;D It will be a bit of a TRIAL to find out more, Allan.
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia
