now we are getting somewhere. It's a Ravel chassis. Locked for you to find the coachbuilder and the year

That's very interesting. Carrosserie Mamy on its website claims they bodied the car in 1922.

However my picture comes from a 1926 French magazine claiming another coachbuilder from Besancon.  Now this other coachbuilder is more renowned. Should I declare this solved and feature both coachbuilders in the title?

They both bodied several Ravel, according to Beaulieu...(if the 2nd coachbuilder is from Doubs too ;) )
Mamy coachbuilt the sedans and 'the other' built the tourers.

I found the answer at the well known coach builders site.
One of the only two Ravels know to exist is a 1925 Ravel sedan belonging to the Schlumpf Collection, bodied by Monjardet: 26, Rue Bersot, Besançon, Doubs.
The tourer posted by Paul Jaray was bodied by Langutt in 1923.

Monjardet was mentioned as the coachbuilder of the puzzle car! So what should I do now?

I thought one of the editors would have given you some advice by now!

I'd say it was 99.9% certain that's a body built on the Weymann principle - maybe there are records to show whether Monjardet followed that path.
