AI Listing Summary
This 1932 Delage D8C faux cabriolet, with Vanvooren coachwork, is one of only two known to exist with this body. It was delivered new to the UK and has been beautifully preserved since its restoration in the 1990s. Recent servicing makes it ideal for touring.

Condition
8
The car received a complete restoration in the late 1990s, with the body repainted and the wooden framework restored. The interior has also been completely restored and is in very good condition. The engine was recently checked and found to be in remarkably fresh condition. While overall very well preserved, some small bubbles are noted under the paint. The brakes and clutch have been recently restored and the car's underside is very clean.
