Merci. It looks like a cyclecar to me (?), for which their where many French builders. This must be by one of the lesser-known companies, so I will have to go away and have a good think for a while...

No. I don't think this make has ever appeared on AP before now.

Golly, a bit of a lucky educated guess on my part as I began rattling through a long list I had of obscure French cyclecars, as they are a bit of a special interest of mine.

That list is very looong, so I thought of French cyclecar makers that I’d never seen mentioned here in AP before (of which there are quite a few, so I got lucky as I can’t recall ever seeing a photo of a Labor, put descriptions of its short-lived model matched the style of the puzzle car).
