Delahaye 235?
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

No, it's not British..

Delahaye 235?

..because it is one of these!
Two more parts of the question to be answered correctly for the point..

1951 - the styling looks quite restrained, so I'll try Beutler.

Yes, by Barou and first shown in 1951 (but it is described as a 1952 model).
The other picture you have posted is of a different Barou Delahaye, possibly his 135 - check out the different grille and windscreen which are immediately obvious, but it is in fact quite different.

I think it's this one, as I believe Barou only bodied 2 Delahaye 135/235s:

Bad luck nicanary - two-thirds of the way there!

The silver car is by Antem according to my information; I think I even had it as a puzzle here previously?

It does look almost identical, I know, and I wondered the same.
But then I wondered if it was a sort of 'standardized' design made by more than one coachbuilder?
It also looks pretty much the same as my DB-Citroen puzzle very recently.
