Just my thoughts. But I haven't read a single mention of such a car so far. I also had a look whether the background palace looks like one of those connected to the House of Hanover, but to no avail.

Waiting in the Black Hole until somebody may enlighten us.

Puzzle picture added again. The more I look at it, the more I tend to say that Hanomag is the wrong answer. We should follow the Hispano-Suiza trail.

Not unless the picture has been flipped, because Hispano Suiza never made a single LHD car, not in Spain, France or Czechoslovakia. Same as Isotta Fraschini and Bugatti.

Right.

However the Hanomag guess is only based upon the logo.
The longer I look upon this photo I tend to say it is not a german design...

Good news, folks! I found the car. It is a Hanomag with a German coachbuilt body, and it is smaller than it looks. New guesses will be accepted now.

Hanomag then...

Is it one of the better known coachbuilders that built this bodywork?

If so, my fist guess would be Buhne.

I also think I found it
1933 Hanomag by Musigk & Haas.

I started from the wrong side of this book...

I think you´re right

Yes, I found this picture below today, and it reminded me of the Musigk & Haas BMW 3/20 PS. A look at a well known site brought the positive ID. It is probably a Hanomag 4/23 PS.

Two well earned points for ropat.
