Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This is a rare 1952 Delahaye 235 Chapron 'grand luxe' coach, one of only eight produced. It requires restoration but features well-preserved upholstery and comes with various spare parts. Despite being saved from scrap in the 1960s, it presents a unique opportunity for collectors.

Condition
5
The car is described as a 'beautiful restoration project' with 'upholstery fairly well preserved'. This suggests it's not in top condition but has potential. The presence of parts in the boot and the need for restoration indicate it requires work, but its rarity and well-preserved aspects increase its appeal.

Il s'agit d'une très rare version Chapron "grand luxe", qui présente un renflement d'ailes caractéristique et dont Jean-Paul Tissot dénombre huit exemplaires produits, sur un total de 41 coachs 235 ...
