Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

LHD. One of two built for Jean Trevoux with lightweight alloy body by Motto, won 51 Monte Carlo Rallye, dnf with Chiron and Mariotti in 51 Carrera Panamericana. Restored with iron cylinder head and Koni shocks. Poor older repaint over even worse prep but doors close well and gaps are even. Good aluminum bumpers. Usable old interior. Overall, very original.

Market commentary

This bid shows a surprising lack of interest for a Delahaye with this history in Monte Carlo. At around $100K and the cost of some mechanical and functional work someone could have a very good car with a history that should see it welcomed in most events even if it looked a bit tatty.
