and going back to Old School,
this is the last one of these I have and I don't think I shall have another. My feeling at the moment is that having spent 4 years living breathing and eating the Delage project that I do not have it in me to do anymore cars from remains through to finished, so after 10 years I advertised this set of parts (actually this is just a few of the big lumps - I have pretty much everything and a lot of it is restored such as all the instruments, lights etc) and they were bought unseen in under 24 hours from advert by an overseas buyer for a surprisingly large sum of money...
I was happy but now it is leaving I am a bit wistful especially about the engine. These are very special cars, they were allegedly 3 times the price of a Rolls Royce Phantom 1 when new. Only the most extravagant / optimistic manufacturer would produce the chassis seen here - it is their shortest wheel base / sporting model with an overall length of 4.52 meters. I planned to compensate for that by using this V12 engine from the same factory in place of the original. Any guesses?
