The Delahaye 135MS Coupé #800501 that we offer for sale is one of the very first to have been bodied by Henri Chapron after the end of the war. It was presented at the Paris Salon. Its first owner was a famous Parisian lawyer. In 1992, it participated in the first “Tour de France Automobile”. Its driver told us that it was driving happily at 160 km/h…
A few years later, it was repainted in red and white. In 2009, it entered the JWA Classic collection and was completely restored.
