DidierF ◊ 2013-07-28 04:28	I bet on a Citroën 5 HP Torpédo, without guessing the year.
sixcyl ◊ 2013-07-28 09:46	C2 or C3, difficult to say. I guess a Torpédo 3 Places rather than a 2 Places.
DynaMike ◊ 2013-07-28 13:51	C2, because of the very short distance between spare wheel and rear fender (the C3 had a 10 cm longer wheelbase, which is best visible at that point). And it's a Torpédo 2 Places, because the three passengers are clearly sitting next to eachother. Could be a 1923-1926 model. Front fenders of a 1926, rear fenders of a 1923-1925. Ballon tires of 1925+, non original headlights... Here are two pictures of Torpédo 3 Places versions, the first from 1924, the other from 1925/26 Trèfle:
