About this car

The Type 57 was Bugatti's last great road car of the pre-war years, a twin-cam straight-eight tourer designed by Jean Bugatti. This 1936 example wears a Gangloff coupe body. Gangloff was the Colmar coachbuilder that supplied bodies to Bugatti throughout the 1930s, so the car combines a factory chassis with a closely related, period coachbuilt design.

The dealer lists it as registered in Switzerland. The page gives no chassis number, mileage, colour or ownership history, and directs buyers to call for pictures and details. The asking price is £780,000.
