 Restoration of a Delahaye
In June 2001 I visited an MVT show at Thruxton near Andover with no thoughts of owning a second jeep or becoming involved in a challenging restoration project but my passion for French jeeps born of owning an M201 was about to change all of this.

The Delahaye was rather tatty but for the most part complete and running (The photographs make it look much better than it actually was - that's me giving it a test drive).
