A Mochet Type H would be my first guess, although they didn't usually have front brakes.

Sorry, independent of front brake yes or no, it is not a Mochet.

Ardex is the manufacturer controlled by marcel tamine,which was based in nanterre.Im guessing this was a cyclecar,production for ardex was from 1934-1955?

If by cyclecar you mean a small car, you are right. Start and end of the production period are correct, but there was a break in between. Still missing type and production period.

The production period is correct, but there was another version with a smaller engine.

I have no information on the number of seats, but it doesn't look like a four-seater. The missing part of the type designation is the engine capacity and it is bigger than 125 ccm.
