1924 Delahaye Type 102 double phaeton skiff
Letter to the editor
I am currently in negotiations with the current owner of this prototype 1924 Delahaye Type 102 skiff. Unfortunately, there is little to no material available for research on the internet. We understand it was built by Henri-Jean Labourdette and that it was originally based on a Type 92 and later fitted with a Type 102 engine. We've seen it was sold at a Bonhams auction in 2009 and exhibited at Techno Classica Essen the same year. Further to this, we have no more information.
In the hope that some readers of PreWarCar.com might know something more, any supplementary information would be appreciated.
Although in many aspects this is subjective, I am curious about how connoisseurs would regard the desirability of this car.

This car was originally sold in Spain; as with many pre-war vehicles, it was very probably converted into a van or small delivery truck in the post-war years. The disc wheels, never originally fitted to 1920s sports cars, are a very good clue about the commercial past of this unit.
The bodywork was very surely made by the tandem Polo-Pueche in the 1970s/80s, as they made bodies for many French chassis that they found in Spain in very poor condition (and either without bodies or converted into vans). So nicely done, but not original in many aspects and nothing to do with a prototype or a body by Labourdette.

I'm no expert on Delahaye cars but the Type 92 was usually a fire engine truck. Labourdette coachwork used to look rather different and nothing like this skiff, which looks like it was made by someone who was very good at woodworking (but not so much at panel beating). So caveat emptor would be my advice.
P.S. I may stand corrected as this skiff actually does show up on the Coachbuild website.
