Constructed new in 1924 and raced that year by Rene Thomas, the featured example never received the Supercharger upgrade and as such remains in the 1924 specification. After its racing career, the car disappeared and only resurfaced many decades later in South America. It was sold to the American collector Bob Sutherland and it eventually returned to Europe in 1999. In Europe, the Delage racer received a five year restoration that was needless to say highly complex. Eventually Sean Danahar pulled it off and for the first time in many, many years the 2LCV was fully operational again. The rare surviving Delage 2LCV is seen here on the stand of Swiss dealer Lukas Huni during the 2007 Retromobile show in Paris and in action during the Goodwood Festival of Speed later that year.
