Time to start posting some new puzzles, so let's start with an easy one -

For a point identify the marque, model, coachbuilder and year

I'm surprised that no Rookie had a stab at this one.............

Up it goes for an even easier Expert one!

It is a Delahaye 135M cabriolet by labourdette 1938

Good reply - it is a Delahaye 135MS but the coachbuilder & year are incorrect.
LOCKED for you for another try.........

I have clear that coachbuilder is LANGENTHAL because I knew that I had a photo of the car at home but I was speaking from memory and I could not confirm my answer Ihave a confusion with Labourdette as both begins with La....

The year I have in my photo is 1938 but searching on the net most of the sources date this car in 1947 as well as a beautiful 135MS coupe, also by Langenthal so the correct year must be 1947.

Yes, glad you eventually found it as that's the answer.
I have the year as 1948 but I won't dispute that......so another point for you...
