8. 1935 Delahaye 135M Competition Drophead Coupe (Worldwide Auctioneers)
This near mythical Delahaye Type 135M Competition Drophead Coupe is one of only four produced and is the last surviving 1935 of the marque penned by unrivaled coachbuilder, Figoni. This one-of-a-kind masterwork, Body 566, debuted on stage at the 1935 Paris Motor Show and was well-documented before Delahaye historians lost track of its whereabouts. It has been the source of a riveting five-year research effort, helmed by its owner and undertaken by many of the greatest living Delahaye historians and experts. It was the recipient of a thorough and painstakingly correct restoration by Monsieur Bonnefoy, one of the most trusted Delahaye specialists in France. For Delahaye and Figoni enthusiasts alike, it doesn’t get more exciting than this splendid, achingly beautiful and incredibly important piece of automobile history.
