This Delage Victoria D8 Coupe featured a new in-line eight-cylinder engine designed by Maurice Gaultier and intended to go head-to-head with the eight-cylinder unit found in the elegant Isotta-Fraschini models.
The coachwork for this coupe was built by the French firm of Henri Chapron.
It is believed that there were 99 examples of the D8 constructed between 1931 through 1933. These were highly sought after high performance machines that were stylish and elegant.
This vehicle had a 118 hp engine coupled to a four speed transmission and had a top speed of 90 mph.
