Anyone got any idea what this is? Found recently in a lean-to in France while I was house hunting with a friend......

Looks like a Rosengart, French version of the Austin 7 built under licence.

Great thanks.
I looked them up and the images I found looked a bit different.

Either way I'm guessing they're not a rare/ expensive car anyway?

May I suggest a Citroen C4 from about 1929

Looks pretty close - the shape of the radiator doesn't look quite right though?

Isn't that just the chrome surround has just been removed, just guessing that it isn't a one piece and that it is actually a 1930 C4, minus the surround?

The detail from the hood vent area and the raise bit on the cowl are the same.
