1935 Delahaye Type 135 Competition Cabriolet

This Figoni & Falaschi cabriolet body was first seen on another Delahaye Type 135 chassis at the 1935 Paris Auto Salon, where it was one of the stars of the show. The following year it was also shown at the Concours d'Elegance de l'Auto in Pairs. But by 1946, the body had been refitted to a Bugatti Type 43 (chassis number 43308) for its then-owner Monsieur Bouvet. Sadly, the original Delahaye chassis was lost shortly after the body swap. The Bugatti with cabriolet was later sold to Lt. Col. Eric Richardson of California, and it resided in the United States for the next 39 years. The car was then exported to England, where the body was sold to a new owner who incorrectly modified and modernized it. The current owners purchased this Delahaye in 2000, and after five years of extensive research with a team of experts in Europe, they identified and restored it.
