What is it? # 22 (UPDATE 1, 2)

UPDATE 2:

We received information from Philippe-Jean Ladure -Voisin Specialist: "I would suggest that this car is rather a C1 instead of a C3) with a 4 cylinders -18-23 HP - 4 liters. However, this car has front brakes, as C3 have, corresponding to a C1 manufacturing year of 1922 or more, except if the car (issued before 1922) was later fitted with front brakes by the factory itself, under updating program."

UPDATE 1: It is a 1923 Voisin C3. Dominique Barbault from France gave the best answer. Congratulatiosn Dominique !
