At the 1929 Motor Show, Delage presented the D8, an emblematic touring car which, like the Bugattis in particular, was distinguished by a superb 8-cylinder in-line engine with a capacity of 4 litres and 100 hp.
At the beginning of the 1930s, the range was extended by the very exclusive and noble D8S, which was distinguished by its low-slung chassis and its engine with 120 hp.

The best coachbuilders quickly made it one of their favourite bases.
The car we present here is exceptional in more than one way...
