Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. Small elephant radiator cap orment, driving light, dipping headlights, windwings. Practical Bugatti that is remarkably plain and bereft of style or charm. Good older paint, interior looks newer. Shows much use but looks sound and useable.

Market commentary

Its unusual to see a plain vanilla Bugatti tourer survive without getting more sporting coachwork but does little to lessen the hit that vanilla takes in the classic car market. Estimated at $70 100,000, the bid should have bought the Bug.
