1936 Delahaye Type 135 Competition Speciale Roadster

  • Chassis Number: 47186
Just fourteen Delahaye 135 Competition Specials were built, and this was one of two that went to Jacques Menier, scion of the famous Menier chocolatiers. One car was bodied for his personal use, but this car was built to race. Menier, who had his own Equipe (or team), had planned to run the car at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1936, but that event was canceled due to a labor strike. The Delahaye was raced on four other occasions, in the hands of Philippe Maillard-Brune, before World War II. After the war, it was raced by Rene Cotton in the Mille Miglia, the Liege-Rome-Liege, and the 1952 Monaco Grand Prix, where the 16-year-old car placed eighth overall. Over the past several decades the car has been well cared for by Serge Pozzoli, Abba Kogan and Lord Anthony Bamford. It remains race-ready in the hands of its latest owner.
