Though Fedor was the first one, both of you get a point for your efforts. But in the future please look at the list of answers before you submit yours ! Thank you

Thanks for the point

I'm confused.  In 1923 would it have been a Talbot or a Talbot-Darracq?

William Court reckons Talbot-Darracq, but Georgano points out in his encyclopedia that the name changed according to the country in which the cars were racing. He also says the general rule was that if the engine was under 1500cc it was always just Talbot. This voiturette would have been 1100cc, so presumably it's a Talbot.

Yes, it was a Talbot. I did not have time to reply to Fedor before the even more detailed reply has arrived
