Fellow Autopuzzlers, for a point please tell me the marque and year of this vehicle.
Please excuse the white stripe, I created the image by joining together two scanned magazine pages I found online and that bit was missing.

Don't be naughty! Stay away from Google Search by Image, kids.

Salmson

No. The marque is less widely known than these.

ARIÈS?

el_monty · « **Reply #11 on:** November 22, 2017, 01:17:50 PM »

This marque had a much shorter life than Ariès or any of the others that have been mentioned.

made in 1930

el_monty · « **Reply #13 on:** November 23, 2017, 02:56:52 AM »

This car was made for only two years, and indeed 1930 was one of them.

Emile Pilain

el_monty · « **Reply #15 on:** November 23, 2017, 05:04:11 AM »

Not Pilain.

deguingand?

el_monty · « **Reply #17 on:** November 23, 2017, 05:25:16 AM »

It's not a Deguingand, BUT there is a significant connection. You're on the right track.

I'll say that this leads me to Donnet and perhaps a 7CV

I thought they only made trucks, but you know more than me. Anyway, it's not by Willeme.

Not Donnet. The connection is in a different direction, though Donnet shared it too.

Galba, 1929-30, 564cc, two-speed gearbox... a relative of the Sima-Violet

serf?

el_monty · « **Reply #23 on:** November 23, 2017, 08:34:10 AM »

Barrett wins the point! It is indeed the Galba cyclecar, developed by Marcel Violet and using a smaller version of his two-stroke engine which was also used by, among others, Deguignand and later Donnet.
