From just 84/85 examples built of the Delahaye 235, which was introduced for the Paris Motor Show in 1951 and would be the last model sold by the prestigious marque, the most iconic model in the range was the ‘coach’ with bodywork by Henri Chapron.
Two versions of this were offered: the so-called ‘works’ coach and the ‘Grand Luxe’ coach.
Each car was built to a distinct specification, as chosen by the customer.
This ultimate model was powered by the type 22 S 103 engine, the 3.5-litre six-cylinder, with power uprated to 152 bhp.
It also had front suspension with Messier hydraulic shock absorbers, resulting in a quick car with good roadholding and an excellent ride, making long journeys possible at high speed.
