Perfect answer, there is nothing I can add to that except that I hope this bodywork is preserved and fitted to a chassis after the inevitable 'restoration' of this car with a replica F&F body etc..

I think this was quite a hard one as I couldn't find any information about it on the net, Only that picture, so well done!

This should be easy... for a point, please tell me what car this is and who built the bodywork

I know a lot of such "easy" ones rotting in the Black Hole for quite a while..

Well I thought it would be easy as it was covered in a very well-known magazine a few years ago, but when I searched for info on the web I realised how little there has been written about it! Unless you have that magazine and you know where to look I guess you'd have no chance of solving it...

Finally found the car, the pic says it's a Delahaye 135MS Berlinette from 1948. I do have some doubts about the year though... would be nice to see a full pic of the car

I'm sure we had that one before, but I can't find it.

I was pretty sure we'd had it too but couldn't find it.
I have now and it answers mekubb's question too! 

Have therefore merged it.
