Confusing. Could be a cca 194 SPA but has British sidelights? Otherwise a similar age Alfa Romeo? Regards

It's a 1923 Ruston-Hornsby 16 hp A1 model, built at their Engineering Works in Lincoln, England.

Interesting to read that the company was bought by Siemens.

It is indeed a Ruston-Hornsby 16hp A-1. which were built from 1920 to 1925. Built by a proper engineering company to very high standards, and thus too expensive for the market. Two remain in the possession of R-H, and this is the only one in running order.

(I posted the puzzle without realising that the badge was on the radiator!)

It's a repost Bertrand. I used the same photo for my puzzle!

Correct, point for you Wendax
Nicanary: I try now, in seach section, Ruston and Ruston Hornsby, and "auto puzzle" give me "Your search query didn't return any matches" but maybe my research is not correct?
