Delahaye had no in-house coachworks, so all its chassis were bodied by independents that created some of their most attractive designs on the Type 135.

Chassis number 800784 was bodied by the famed French coachbuilder Alphonse Guilloré, who only made three Cabriolet-bodied examples.

This is one of just two known survivors and is therefore an exceptionally rare and special example.

The ‘M’ engine, chassis and gearbox have matching numbers.

The car is currently affixed via the chassis to a custom-made dolly so that it may be moved around.

This vehicle is currently in storage at CARS Europe BV.
