barrett's #111 - Solved - Delahaye 135S with body by Henry Molla

Perfect answer, there is nothing I can add to that except that I hope this bodywork is preserved and fitted to a chassis after the inevitable 'restoration' of this car with a replica F&F body etc..

I think this was quite a hard one as I couldn't find any information about it on the net, Only that picture, so well done!

This should be easy... for a point, please tell me what car this is and who built the bodywork

I know a lot of such "easy" ones rotting in the Black Hole for quite a while..

Any more pics? Rear? Etc?

Well I thought it would be easy as it was covered in a very well-known magazine a few years ago, but when I searched for info on the web I realised how little there has been written about it! Unless you have that magazine and you know where to look I guess you'd have no chance of solving it...

mekubb · April 30, 2013, 06:05:05 AM

Reminds me of a Talbot, is it French ? If so Talbot-Lago ?

SACO · April 30, 2013, 07:00:00 AM

Yes ,it's French ,but not a Talbot-Lago !

targhediferro · April 30, 2013, 08:01:12 AM

Salmson by Rosier?

SACO · April 30, 2013, 08:13:29 AM

Not a Salmson !

mekubb · April 30, 2013, 08:41:17 AM

SACO · April 30, 2013, 09:14:47 AM

Yes ,have you the type and the year ?
Locked for mekubb

mekubb · April 30, 2013, 10:17:19 AM

Finally found the car, the pic says it's a Delahaye 135MS Berlinette from 1948. I do have some doubts about the year though... would be nice to see a full pic of the car

SACO · April 30, 2013, 10:47:03 AM

Yes, Delahaye 135 MS 1948
I don't know the story of the car !
A pic of the car before restoration :
1 point for mekkub

I'm sure we had that one before, but I can't find it.

mekubb · April 30, 2013, 04:26:36 PM

Any idea about the coach builder ? Or is it rebodied ?

I was pretty sure we'd had it too but couldn't find it.
I have now and it answers mekubb's question too!

Have therefore merged it.
