Found it!!!.....one of the two racing Dexters built around 1906.  One competed at Limonest in 1908. I'd never heard of Dexter before, so many thanks for the post.

Yes, a 1906 Dexter Sport with a 120 hp engine. It was displayed at this year's Retromobile and made it on the poster of this year's Circuit des Remparts in Angoulème.

Nor me. Just checked in Georgano and the marque has a small paragraph. Founded by a M. Faure. Mainly large-engined cars built for competition, and I assume unsuccessfully. Every day's a school day............
