Don't think it is - the B pillar on the mystery car is obvious from the outside, where it isn't on the Citroën

It does seem that a ‘French Connection’ seems to be a popular choice on both threads.

Help wanted on ‘What car is this’ thread.
( Taken in Aberdeenshire if that helps).

Many similar features and it's French. This one has a Weymann body.

No takers in almost 4 hours so here's another view. It's a 1928 Delage DR70 Saloon with Weymann body.

Is this the unidentified car albeit with a different coachbuilder?

Not unless they changed the radiator grille, which would have been highly unlikely.

Radiator grille of another Delage DR. Is that any closer?

Mystery car
Yes, it's closer (and the right colour), but I still don't think it's right. Look at the way the bright surround on the mystery car curves on its lower edge - in the colour shot it is straight. Radiator grilles were one of the few ways cars could be identified back then, so manufacturers evolved a design and stuck with it.

All that being said, you've done better than I have in trying to identify this car...
