Hold your breath guys, I am told this awesome machine once graced the roads of Hyderabad courtesy Prince Azamjah (atleast the note refers to the Prince but the dates don't make sense). But I have heard from another source that Azamjah did have a Delahaye.

I quote Julian:

This thread needs some eye candy:

A Mr. Jourde from India asked his friend Joseph Figoni to build this car in the style exhibited at the Paris Auto Show. It was then shipped to Bombay where it remained until 1986. During its time in India, the car's headlights were removed from the wings and placed on each side of the grille. After decades of neglect, the car was eventually sent to England for restoration and then was exhibited at Concours in Europe and America, winning many awards. Powered by a 3.2-liter straight six engine, the low-slung Delahaye 135 chassis is famous for the many gorgeous bodies built upon it.
It was later purchased by Prince de Berae Mukarran
