Identification help!

Almost certainly French, but I can't place it. Any ideas?

I'd say a Motobloc.

Oh, that's interesting. Would never have thought of that - I'd always assumed vintage Motoblocs to be smaller, and I wasn't familiar with the post-war radiator.

Shall delve deeper.

Thank you.

This is the one that make me think of that.
The radiator is bigger but it's not totally different.
Just an idea.

MM, you're right - it is similar. Better than any of the options I've come up with anyway.

The biggest model they made in the early 20s was a 15CV according to Georgano, so I'll try and track down a shot of one of those.

Thanks again.

Well, it's taken only three years, but, if you're still out there Voisin, it seems to be a Rochet-Schneider but missing the RS logo from the radiator centre.

I'd agree with that. I'm sure I've had a photo of a similar R-S but can't say if I still have.
Voisin last visited in June this year, so isn't far away!
