Not a Delahaye, but perhaps one inspired the design.

Sorry but the puzzle is locked for norberthanke to have one go at identifying it correctly.
Only if he doesn't get it right then can I open it again.

No, not by them.
And I can answer smodmog that it's not a French-bodied SS100 either.

That's it, yes.
I haven't been able to find out who built it but I can tell you it's for sale in the UK at the moment for £95,000 if you fancy it!

£95,000 is an awful lot of money for a modified Royale Sabre kit car!
A car is for life, not just for Christmas.
