I've found this on a Facebookpage ; I have no idea what it is ... Anybody recognises it?

Have had it in my future-puzzle-list, designated as a Wikov Type 35 Kapka from 1931 (no further research done. Have my doubts about, that it's a Wikow)

Sorry, but the Wikov 35 Kapka is an entirely different car with only a slight resemblance (pointed nose) to the unidentified convertible.
Only 5 Wikov 35 Kapka were built: https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2011-39/gg-15-1931-wikov-35-kapka-streamline-car/msg526715/#msg526715

Agree totally with you. That was the reason, why it never showed up as one of my puzzles

The registration plate looks like Belgium, I think

Yes, the photo appeared on a forum about old photos from Belgium. The poster claimed that it was from his family album.

It looks like a Belgian setting in the thirties indeed
