Looks like a Grofri, the license-built Amilcar from Austria.

LOCKED for you!

It is quite difficult to get some more information about Grofri. There were two engines available,  a 903 cc side valve engine (55 x 95 mm) with an output of 18 or 20 hp. That one shoul be in here: www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=21723. The other engine, a  1074 cc (60 x 95 mm) with an output of 28 hp at 3600 rpm could be the one in this puzzle car, which I think was built around 1927. It doesn't look like one of the supercharged 40 hp versions.  BTW, is that Käthe Rantzau at the wheel?

But it was... It is the Grofri Super Sport Kompressor with the 4/24/40HP high output engine.

But you mentioned this version, so I think you´ve deserved the point.
You would have guessed it anyway.

The female driver is Ms Grete Groß-Reinhardt.
