 Automobiles Delaunay-Belleville was a French automobile manufacturer from St. Denis sur Seine, France. At the beginning of the 20th century they were among the most prestigious cars produced in the world. The Delaunay-Belleville were favorite automobiles of Russian Tsar Nicholas II. Jules Bonnot, the famous French anarchist gangster, used a Delaunay-Belleville for his first hold-up. S.A. des Automobiles Delaunay-Belleville was formed by Marius Barbarou and Louis Delaunay in 1903. Delaunay married into the Belleville family who owned the boiler making company of St. Denis. This relationship was reflected on the styling of Delaunay-Belleville cars with the engine surrounds on many examples capturing the character of the boiler company.  Marius Barbarou was responsible for much of the styling and design of the cars. He had previous experience working for Clement, Lorraine-Dietrich and Benz and was directly responsible for the 1904 Paris show car. He helped adopt the Belleville patented system of lubrication to internal combustion engines. This system was one of the first to use a pressurized system of pumps and oil ways instead of the common drip system used during the period. Most of the models were powered by six-inline engines, whose round radiator made them easily identifiable. By the late 1920s the Delaunay-Belleville had lost its prestige and converted to truck and military vehicles production.  This famous marque is estimated by serious collectors as the french Rolls Royce, and maybe this is the finest example of this make in existence. The beautiful proportionned body is from the house of Rothschild, who came in business by taking over the famous house of Rheims & Auscher. The restoration of this car took no less than 17 years, but we managed to find the original instruments, the original carburettor, a gas factory on its own, all the vanities required in a top landaulette. Fourteen layers of paint applied by hand , each with a drying time of 4 weeks. It is fantastic. This is a well restored vehicle. The Beijing Company Hua De Feng Ying offers this vehicle for sale.
