Not often you see such cars being used, this was at Mallory Park in June 2012.

Ooof, that's pretty.

This Figoni & Falaschi Delahaye 135 was at the Concours D'Elegance in Edinburgh last year - absolutely stunning!

This don't look period correct. It appears to be a modern replica of something/modern reinterpation.

Nothing to add except to say this is the best thread in ages, keep em coming please! The "Delahaye 135 M Narval Cabriolet" is the thread winner so far! Looks like it could take off at any moment! stunning looking car

A little insight into that round doors history, the first owner must of been blind! And how does such a vehicle end up in a scrap yard! (I never knew pre-war RR's were delivered in chassis only form?)

What an amazing story / chequered past!

Some of these are trying too hard. Back in the 20s- 30s, many would have been driven by cads in zoot suits. For elegance, keep it simple. Zagato did well...

Was that ever intended to represent 'Epic 30s and 40s coachwork'? It looks like an open two-seater sports car rather than a luxury art deco inspired coupe.
