Well I have about three possibilities, but, if my date estimate is correct, I would suppose this to be a 1924/25 Selve 8/32 HP.

I'm not sure myself, but I also think that it is either a late Selve 8/32 PS or an early 9/36 PS.

One more point for you.

The original picture and another view of the accident:

Thanks Gerd!  The 9/36 would have been my second choice, but apparent lack of front wheel brakes, relatively small cross section tires, and a seemingly deeper radiator shell leads me to think that this one is the earlier 8/32 model.

You are right, the 9/36 PS had four-wheel brakes. Title changed.
