Two recent auction sales gave us a clue: quite a bit of money!
Already in 2018, the sale by Bonhams of a De La Chapelle chassis n°125 from the Junior series for more than 33000 euros gave a trajectory but the chassis n°28 of the same series was sold in 2021 par RM Sotheby’s for 120 000 euros.
De La Chapelle is a marque very close from its club which exist since September 11th, 1992.
The Club has always been extremely active, organizing events allowing owners and other people fond of the marque, to gather in order to drive along awesome roads and discover unique places while talking to the general people along the way.

What are the differences between the De La Chapelle Atalante Séries 5 et Séries 6 ?
De La Chapelle is a brand which has always been attentive about the requests and needs of its customers.
The 200mm increase of the wheelbase and the 100mm enlargement were choices dictated by the comments of the users of De La Chapelle automobiles.
From the series 1 to the series 5, The De La Chapelle were all propelled by the BMW inline 6 cylinders which could be tightly nested underneath the pointy engine hood.
The request for more space within the cabin, more amenities and an improved access, widened the options for the engine choice.
Therefore, the V8 engine brought a major increase in power and torque especially, so important for the pleasure of driving.
