I've not been around for a couple of weeks, but not much seems to have changed since I was last tuned in.

Was this car built by Bob Automobil?

Still too many names...in the S-Z part of the alphabet?

Not the kind of question I like very much as long as there are other hints to go by. Have a look at my initial post and try a more professional deduction.  ;)

There are too many makers that fit your vague hint ("There have been more characteristic cars by this manufacturer"), such as Rumpler, Mauser and so on and my idea was to narrow down my huge list.
The geographic way will be more or less as "unprofessional" as the alphabetic one and the 3 books I browsed confirmed that this car has nothing expecial but the slightly round radiator to make it different from any Falcon, Ego, etc I considered.
I think I'll save some time waiting other puzzlers to find out what is the correct line of questions you like more and follow that path.
Since I don't want to waste a reply, here's an educated guess: Omega 3/10 PS?

Not an Omega. I had the feeling that you didn't notice the hint, as I wouldn`t connect your guesses Alan and Amor with any characteristic cars. Rumpler and Mauser were the kind of guesses I had expected by giving this hint. To save your time: it is neither of them.

10 days later...
Is this the Mollwagen, by Moll-Werke AG, Chemnitz?
There was a 6/30 and 8/40 in 1922-1924.
