It looks as if it may be French. Is it?

No..

Does the name start with L ?

I haven't found a proper name for it and I'm not sure it actually has one, so I would have to say No, I don't think it does.  Maybe you can prove me wrong though!

Well, I was just asking because it looks like there is an "L" written on the bonnet.

Is it an Italian car ?

Well I had it on my archive and it would have been one of my next quizzes.  I have it as a one-off built in Sweden around 1938 by a certain Mr. Larda. It seems that Mr.Larda built also the engine of his car by himself, a two cilinder engine.

You're right, though I didn't know his name.
I have some pictures of this home-built engine which I'll post a little later.
1 point for you.
