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.

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.  ;D

Hanomag then... :D

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

If so, my fist guess would be Buhne.

1933 Hanomag by Musigk & Haas.

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.
