This large limousine is almost certainly a La Buire of around 1912. The long hood probably hides a 6 cylinder engine. There was a Russian connection, because a La Buire won in 1911 the St. Petersburg-Sebastopol (or Sevastopol) Rallye in the hands of Pyotr Ilyin, who himself was a Moscovian coachbuilder. And indeed he also used La Buire chassis for his coachwork (see Maurice A. Kelly, Russian Motor Vehicles for more information). So possibly we see an Ilyin creation!
