Delahaye 155 V12 Chassis # 48774

Delahaye 155 V12 Grand Prix 1938 Chassis # 48774


 The forth V12 chassis was a single seater called 155 instead of 145. It raced only three times in 1938 without any success:
                                    German GP #20 - DNS
                                    Coppa acerbo #36 - DNS
                                    Donington GP #9 - DNF

The car was a bad design and was not raced again before the war. It was sold to a privateer in 1946 
The car was raced five times in 1946 (2 DNS - 2 DNF - 1 DSQ)
                              three time  in 1947 (2 DNF -1 DNS)
                              one time in 1947 (7th)

After these terrible results the car was scrapped.
