Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. Assembled on a Bugatti Club frame from original Bugatti engine (from 37112), gearbox, axles, brakes and radiator with a Bugatti Owners Club chassis number in the late 80s. Black wire wheels, radiator stoneguard, single aeroscreen, single sidemount, Marchal headlights, no fenders. Done to excellent standards and showing age and use but still a car that will be driven with great pride and shown confidently at the end of a days touring or hot laps.
