About this car

The Type 57 Atalante is one of the most sought-after pre-war Bugattis, a two-door coupe on Jean Bugatti's Type 57 chassis, built in small numbers in the mid-1930s. This 1936 car is offered with European papers.

The dealer says it is fully matching numbers, with a complete history from new. It also says a second Atalante is available, likewise with European papers. Chassis number and registration are listed as to be confirmed, and no mileage, colour or ownership details are given.

Viewing is by appointment, and the dealer asks for enquiries from qualified principals.
