Description
Circa 1951 – Delahaye VLR
French registration document
Chassis no. 01026
- The Light Reconnaissance Vehicle designed to win back the French army
- ‘The French version of the Jeep’, with fewer than 10,000 units produced
- Vehicle in working order, with 52,632 km on the clock, featuring a new soft top
- More sophisticated and affordable than a Jeep, and sold with a maintenance manual
Please note that, due to an administrative error, the date of first registration shown on the vehicle’s registration certificate is 11/02/1971. This likely corresponds to the date it was released from the military fleet of the Domaines, rather than its actual date of first registration, as this vehicle was manufactured between 1951 and 1954.
