The fluted bonnet Mystery. (update:1914 Brasier !)

Most carphotos that need identifying are vague. How different this photo as provided by a Bugatti afficionado. The slightly scruffy car is pictured crisp and sharp. Location is Belgium or the south of the Netherlands in the fifties or early sixties (check VW beetle in background). But so far no ID of the car. The low camera angle isn't very helpful, but as usual let's concentrate on what the photo has to tell aside that it is a nice edwardian tourer. At the rear end (check larger pic) we see a construction with half and quarter eliptic leave springs not uncommon for the day. The twelve spoke artillery wheels may be a next help. At the front the hood/bonnet is showing slightly angled intricately made louvres going in and out. The radiator set-up gives a fluting of the bonnet and the toptank seems elongated towards the back if we correctly identify the brass top fitting as a radiator cap. We are confident all this should be enough to get your memory going Or?
