Looking for information on this Cottereau I just bought

 

 

I have recently purchased a Cottereau motor car through PreWarCar.com, believed to be circa 1905. It is a 8hp single cylinder engine, 1040 cc I believe. The chassis is steel channel rather than tube. I’m told Cottereau offered both options. The gearbox is 4 speed and reverse but I’m not sure this was an option, most of the paperwork I seen doesn’t mention a 4 speed box. 

The car has a speedster type of body but I think this should probably be a Populaire. 

 

I’m looking for any information on Cottereau or indeed the car I have purchased. Speaking to the VCC of GB they think there are about 8-10 in existence, but none known to be in the UK. Is this true?
