These Guys to me were the Phil Vincent & Phil Irving of their day. Their ideas and level of engineering were (I believe), were decades ahead of their time. :clap
The chap on the left in Arthur Michelat and the chap on yhe right is Louis Delage
The level of complexity, skill an engineering of this Grand Prix Delage is truly awe inspiring. And when it is eventually up and running again and if its at a meet near you, I'd urge you to take some time out to have a look at it...if you have a love of anything mechanical, you wont be disappointed. :grin
Cheers :-)
