The Collection
The car is an accurate copy of a genuine 135S, and is registered as a 1936 machine on the V5, built entirely by Ian Polson and his team at Wickhambrook, Nr Newmarket in Suffolk (01440 820371).  All genuine Delahaye parts have been used and what wasn’t available i.e. break drums, carburettors and instruments were all reproduced to original specification and accurately copied from when Ian purchased an original, fire damaged car from Australia and rebuilt it.
I have all the invoices for the car from Ian, which total approximately £250,000 (sterling).  I hope the attached photographs show the exacting detail that Ian’s team went to when building the car.  I have driven it at Prescott hill climb on two occasions and at Loton Park on one occasion and found the car handled very well.  It is fitted with an original works race cylinder head, triple carburettors as the photographs show and the fairly rare Delahaye manual gearbox.  The car is more suited for long distance events, circuit racing and special events such as the Mille Miglia.

I am only disposing of it because I am 6’1” tall and 18 stones in weight and I find the cockpit a tight fit.  A great shame for me because the car is beautiful and sits in my collection very well.


The car comes with a VSCC buff form and HTP type approval papers issued by the MSA  (MOTOR SPORTS ASSOCIATION) which enables the car to be entered in international events.


I understand that a genuine 135S would cost approximately £1,000,000.00 (sterling) and Ian Polson tells me that to build another car with the same detail as this one would cost at least £50,000.00 more by the time it is completed.  I am asking £250,000.00 for this very fine motor car and if it helps would consider an interesting part exchange, running or a project car up to a maximum of £50,000.00.
