About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Market commentary

Sold at Branson Spring in 2012 for $205,200, this Delahaye has attractive coachwork and the more desirable Competition short wheelbase chassis. A true barn find with real concours potential, although a comprehensive service to driveline, chassis, electrics and brakes and a set of seat covers would make it usable as is on the road and might be a pleasing interim application commencing the restoration it deserves. It is a CCCA Full Classic (tm) and a sound value at the price.
