History
The Delahaye 235 was introduced as a successor to the Delahaye 135, aiming to capture the luxury market in the post-war era. Despite its advanced engineering and stylish design, the 235 struggled in the market due to the economic climate and competition from other luxury brands. The car was often seen as a symbol of French automotive elegance, with many units featuring bespoke coachwork by famous designers such as Chapron and Saoutchik.
On track
Delahaye had a rich motorsport history, particularly in the 1930s, with successes in events like the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Monte Carlo Rally. However, the 235 itself was not a racing car and did not have a significant motorsport presence.
