Hagerty expert commentary

Our staff has reviewed this vehicle. Here are our notes.

Equipment

3257/160hp supercharged, 4-speed, painted wire wheels, Avon tires, cloth boot cover, woodrim steering wheel, Jaeger dash clock.

Condition

Delivered new to Belgium. Chassis plates switched with another Bugatti in period and currently powered by the engine that matches that other chassis number. Restored in the 1960s. First time offered for public sale. Several large paint cracks and the white panels are all mismatched shades. Tired chrome. Dirty boot cover, old wheels. Worn, mildly cracked leather. Cracked shift knob. A well worn older restoration but it is presentable and seems to be a solid car underneath.

Hagerty Condition Rating#3 GoodRuns and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
