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. For this model he confirms the construction period from 1930 to 1932. Of the 1160 vehicles produced, 22 still exist.

Auctions

The vehicle that has been offered several times in the closed car museum in Stainz

One vehicle that has survived has an open body from the body builder Guillaume Busson from Nanterre . In 2010 it was at a dealer for classic vehicles in the Netherlands . Then it was in the Stainz Automobile Museum . A first auction by Coys on September 26, 2015 in Frankfurt am Main on the occasion of the IAA was unsuccessful with an estimated price of 180,000 to 190,000 euros . On September 7, 2017, Coys apparently auctioned the vehicle for £ 151,875 in England . However, Coys offered the vehicle again on October 17, 2017. Between £ 130,000 and £ 150,000 were expected. There is no record of a sale. The next attempt was on May 25, 2017 in London . Again the vehicle was not sold.
