What is it? Quiz #410 (read >> UPDATE)

You are looking at an ultra fresh barnfind. Many of you will instantly recognise at least the French style of the presented automobile. Yet, when examiníng the photo (we started with photos only just like you now!) we found there is more what meets the eye. Yes this last pre Xmas Quiz quiz is slightly different. As there is little which remembers of the original car. So in this specific case you need to try looking as an expert and try to assess the manufacturer of various parts. First look at the car as found in an old pigs barn in the south of The Netherlands near the Belgian border. The body probably causes instant recognition. According to some websources this alloy body was made by Kelner from Paris, true? Don't be shy, bend over and take a closer look at the dashboard,  hmm... seen that steering wheel before.  Well let's take a closer look at that V-shaped radiator . And when we just can see the engine when going down a little through the knees. And when looking down the check the front axle/suspension, very strange... The same for the what's right word, well let's stick with rear axle contraption. You can't know this car. All we hope is that you can recognise:
1. the body
2. the chassis
3. the engine
4. the front axle
5. the rear axle
When you answer, be sure to use this numbering when giving your answer. 

UPDATE: no need to know all five answers. It's already great if you know 2 or three things...!

Post your answer before Monday December 21th and you may become the winner of this week's pre-war Quiz and will get the infamous PreWarCar T-shirt. Be careful though, check the Rules under 'Read More' first. Due to our Christmas quizzes and puzzles, the results and source of photo will be published Saturday, January 2nd. Enjoy the weekend!

I think this is a post 1920 DFP (possibly a "Petite" which has been much modified with the addition of four wheel brakes etc.The engine appears to be a CIME overhead valve 1100c.c.unit. A very desirable restoration !

Hello. Very attractive vehicle, possible competition model, which may have been available also to the public.
I would say that you are CORRECT in that it is FRENCH, yet must be also defined as sold in ENGLAND.
Walter O. Bentley, prior to his 1919 debut as manufacturer, sold FRENCH DFP(Doriot, Flandrin & Parant) autos, produced from 1906-1933 five miles from Paris(Courbevoie).
The DFP from 1910 used a four cylinder engine made by Chapuis Dornier.
Mr. Bentley may have been instumental with design of the DFP 2 litre 12/15 model, Chapuis Dornier 4 cylinder, which is my guess for this photograph.
