About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Some scuffs on the whitewalls. Light scratches on the nose. Long, deep scratch on the right front fender. Paint blister there as well. Orange peel at the bottom of the passenger's side door. Pitted, lightly scratched window trim. Paint flaking off gear selector. Good wood and upholstery. Holding up well and looking pretty, but its best days are clearly behind it. Older body-off restoration, done in 1993. Subdued, even conservative styling for a Delahaye as well, but still undeniably elegant.

Market commentary

This isn't a bad opportunity to hop up a 135M for better performance (or at least more underhood pizzazz) with practical 4-place enclosed coachwork. The reported bid here, though, appropriately recognizes the age of the restoration.
