The Delage Type AH and the Delage Type AH 2 variant were early passenger car models from the French brand Delage .

description

The national approval authority tested the type AH with the number 1123 and granted the approval on July 12, 1910. Delage only offered the model in 1911. From the variant Type AH 2 , also called Series 2, the vehicle with the number 1317 was tested and registered on November 30, 1910. The model was offered from 1911 to 1913. The successor was the Delage Type AK .

For the first time, a six-cylinder engine powered Delage vehicles. It probably came from Malicet & Blin . It initially had a 65 mm bore and 120 mm stroke . That resulted in a displacement of 2389 cm³ and 14  Cheval fiscal . The second series had a larger engine. 66 mm bore and 125 mm stroke resulted in 2566 cc and 15 CV. The actual engine performance has not been recorded.

The chassis had a track width of 1280 mm and a wheelbase of 2750 mm . Bodies are known as four-door sedans and two-seat roadsters . Four-seat torpedoes would also be typical for the time .

Delage Type AB , Type AC , Type AD , Type AE and Type AH had a similar or even identical chassis. The main difference was in the engine used.

Numbers of units and surviving vehicles

Peter Jacobs from the Delage Register of Great Britain compiled an overview of production figures and the number of vehicles that still exist in October 2006. His information on the construction times differ in some cases from the information given by the book authors. Numbers of the models before the First World War are unknown. For this model he confirms the construction period from 1911 to 1913. Five vehicles still exist.
