Year and marque please. Nice and easy.

I was going to post this one sometime . . . .

Experts?

As I was saying . . .
It's a 1901 8½ h.p. Decauville in its two-seater mode. It has a detachable rear-entrance tonneau if you want it to be suitable for a family outing and that's it in this photo.
I happen to know that it once also had an alternative bread-van rear body but I have no photo of it to hand.

Thanks, but it didn't require much expertise as I was with a previous owner when he first inspected the car with a view to buying it. 
It wasn't this model, but around its time an electrical engineer called Henry Royce was shown a Decauville and decided it wasn't much good and he could do better - so he did and with some encouragement from the Hon C.S. Rolls tried again and did better still.
