description

The national registration authority approved the vehicle with the number 8142 on March 1, 1921. In an improved version, the vehicle with the number 8392 and engine number 1 was presented the following year and approved on April 20, 1922. Delage offered the model from 1921 to 1923. It was the sports version of the Delage Type CO and was later replaced by the Type CO.2 .

A six-cylinder type 6.O engine powered the vehicles of the first version. It's unclear what the letter O stood for. It had 80 mm bore and 150 mm stroke . That resulted in a displacement of 4524 cm³ and 22  Cheval fiscal . The engine developed 85  hp .

The second version had a larger and more powerful engine type 6.OS . The bore had been increased to 85 mm. That resulted in 5107 cc displacement while remaining at 22 CV. The engine power increased to 100 hp.

The chassis had a track width of 1440 mm and initially a 3430 mm wheelbase . The second version was also available in a long version with a 3675 mm wheelbase.

Superstructures as touring cars with four seats have been handed down.

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 1921 to 1923. Of 100 vehicles produced, one still exists.
