Chassis No.: 57345
Engine No.: 57345 282
Body No.: 1146
Gearbox No.: 113
Rear Axle No.: 585

This Bugatti was ordered new by the official agent Arnaud in Lyon, France for an unknown clien in December of 1935. Assembly took place in January and February of 1936 and the car was fitted from new with a standard Type 57 engine with the internal number 282 which it still retains to this day. The car was fitted with an optional down-draft carburetor and four-wheel hydraulic brakes. The Ventoux coachwork is the early Series One type with separate partitioned rear trunk. It was otherwise a standard production example with normal right-hand-drive steering.

Chassis 57345, would be one of the few Ventoux-bodied cars that would be completed without running boards. It was finished with the usual Ventoux touches of the flat, uncluttered wooden dash, simple steering wheel and the single-panel leather seats, as well as devoid of external running boards, 57345 would also have the 3.3-liter DOHC eight-cylinder engine with the single Stromberg carburetor helping to produce easily around 145bhp at an astonishing 5,000rpm.

Unfortunately, the car's early history is relatively unknown but it would survive the Second World War remarkably well and would eventually be sold in 1960 by a dealer in Paris where it had been hidden away safely during the war. From there, the Ventoux Type 57 would be bought by J.W. Harrison of Arlington, Virginia, and therefore, would make its way to the United States. Soon after arriving, the car would become registered with the American Bugatti Club where it has always been considered the benchmark of originality and correctness by which all others are judged.

The car would remain with Mr. Harrison until the early 1970s when it was purchased by David Uihlein. Uihlein would not purchase the car and have it sit as part of some boring, static collection, Instead, 57345 would be a car regularly driven to and from different everyday events and would continue in this capacity well into the late 1990s when David's health prevented his full enjoyment of his most treasured Bugatti.

Over the course of its life, the Type 57 Ventoux has been maintained and has undergone a number of necessary cosmetic and mechanical work but always under David's watchful eye to ensure it remained both functional and as original as possible. Finished in a Black and French Blue livery, the car is a striking thing to behold. Retaining its original motor, 57345 would appear to be highly original in a number of other ways, including its leather interior. In addition to that, each panel and piece of trim and bright work is delicately stamped with the Type No. "57" and the vehicle's body number "1146" is likewise found on all major alloy body panels.

This period correct and highly desirable first series Bugatti Type 57 Ventoux was a personal favorite of David Uihlein who was a most avid fan and collector of original, unrestored and ultra period-correct vehicles of all types. He told me personally on several occasions that this particular Ventoux was one of the most original and correct examples he had ever encountered and that it would remain with him until he passed away... something that in the end came to be.

David enthusiastically enjoyed the car for more than 30 years and it was never restored while in his care or needed to be as he never intended it to be anything but fun transportation. Aside from regular services, paint and touch-up work to deal with age related issues, the car remains essentially as ordered, built and delivered new.

When I last saw the car nearly 20 years ago, I considered it to be a remarkably original survivor. Many back then however deemed it only suitable as a starting point for a full restoration given the fact that it had at that point never been touched or restored before. Today, it is treasured for its originality and purity and likely one of the very last survivors that remains this original and correct.

During my most recent inspection, I was amazed to find hand written notes from June 1977 on the back of a letter addressed to David in which he details recent services and work he performed to the car. In addition to this was a a Standard Oil Company Map of Wisconsin from 1970, something that likely came in quite handy for David as he travelled out and about the countryside in his treasured Bugatti. Shortly before his death, he left his family a set of written starting and driving instructions. These two have been carefully preserved and were left under the driver's seat upon his passing to make ease of use for the next owner that much more enjoyable.

David is no longer with us, but his passion and enthusiasm are forever preserved in this amazing automobile!

Offered from the Estate of the late Alan Burnard, Bugatti T57 Project accumulated over 40 years.

The celebrated Naval Architect and Marine Engineer Alan Burnard was an extremely well known and regarded character in Vintage Motoring circles. Amongst the many career achievements he accomplished, his engineering abilities allowed him to intricately indulge in his passion for motor cars and his achievements within this field were countless.

Perhaps best known for his exploits with Delage Grand Prix cars, in the early 1960s he started to amass parts to build a Bugatti Type 57 to his own specification. Over the decades various elements were gradually added and indeed there is correspondence on file from the early 1980s that documents the purchase of various chassis parts from as far afield as the USA.

As the project sits today, it is based around a longitudinal chassis half and comes with a largely complete engine, various transmission and axle components and much steering and suspension. The engine is that from chassis 57720, notably the project also has a numbered front axle and comes with an abundance of chassis cross-members, has a complete steering box and column and much more besides.

Available to view by appointment, please enquire for further details including a thorough inventory and supporting photographic log.

Chassis No. 38221
Engine No. 371
Registration BF 4537

• Ordered by Bugatti’s Paris Agency, supplied in October 1926 and beautifully fitted with this elegant and sporty coachwork by one of Bugatti’s preferred coachbuilders at the time, Lavocat et Marsaud.
• Believed to have been exported to America from new.
• Formerly part of two prominent American Collections.
• A rare opportunity to acquire such and original eight cylinder four-seat tourer still retaining its original coachwork.

This stunning Type 38 Bugatti is the epitome of 1920’s style and decadence. Bugatti’s legendary straight-eight cylinder engine in a sporty chassis with a strikingly elegant open four-seat coach built body by none other than Lavocat et Marsaud. The culmination of French desire for speed closely coupled with style and chic.

The replacement for the Type 30, the Type 38 first appeared in March 1926 during a period of great activity at Bugatti. With its new frame, well designed axle and details; the engine drove through a newly designed more conventional central mounted gearbox. With a lengthened wheelbase from that of the Type 30 and 50mm more track it gave the cars a more rakish look. Riding on Bugatti’s hallmark rear reverse quarter elliptical springs, the front axle and springs passed through the forged axle as with the Type 35.

Like many of the successful car manufactures of his time Bugatti constantly built on the incredible interest and notoriety gained from the success of his racing cars. The close ties to the legendary Type 35 did not end with the suspension and axles. The engine was almost identical to that of the Type 35A. The crank case casting is the same that was later used on the Type 43 with the lower crank case arms being the same width front and rear. The upper crank case casting was the same on all four models the Type 35, 35A, 38 and 43. The only difference being in their machining, with the Type 35A and 38 running a plain bearing crankshaft and the other two a roller bearing example.

Often supplied as a rolling chassis to be bodied by one of the leading coachbuilders and stylists of the time. 385 examples were produced between early 1926 and 1927, 39 of which were fitted with the Type 37A supercharger and were subsequently known as 38A.

This stunning and original example was one of a batch of ten Type 38 chassis ordered by Bugatti’s Paris Agency on the 21st of August 1926. Invoiced for delivery on the 5th of October 1926 it was fitted with this rakish and sporting body by none other than Lavocat et Marsaud. One of Bugatti’s favorite coachbuilders, they had bodied a number of Type 30 as well as being responsible for the single seater bodies of the Indianapolis cars.

Whilst little or nothing is known at this point about its early history, respected Bugattist and the American Bugatti Registrar Sandy Leith believes this car to have been exported to America as a new car. Andy Rheault’s 1979 American Register lists the car in the ownership of Mayer Pollock of Pottstown Pennsylvania who had purchased it from a dealer in Nantuet, New York, in 1974 fitted at the time with a Ford V8 which Mr. Pollock subsequently replaced with the engine now fitted.

The original engine for this car was fitted to a well known Type 38 special that can be traced back to American Hudson Mills immediately before the war. The second edition of the American Bugatti Club (ABC) Register, published in 1988, shows the ownership as having changed from Mr. Pollock to internationally renown collector Arturo Keller of Tiburon, California. Now fitted with a Type 38 engine and equipped with non standard large-braked alloy road wheels. The accompanying photograph shows the car otherwise essentially as it is today.

The Third edition of the ABC Register, compiled by Sandy Leith in 2003 lists the car as owned by David van Schaick of Newtown Square, Pensilvania, with the former owners since Mr. Keller as Dan Margulies and well known Bugatti collector Oscar Davis of Elizabeth New Jersey. Now back on its correct wire wheels the engine Type 38 engine number is recorded as 371, sourced in Eastern Europe by Mr. Pollock. From Mr. Davis ownership passed to well known American Bugatti restorer Donald Coleman before returning to the UK with its current owner in 2007.

From a recent inspection by Bugatti expert David Sewell he can confirm that the engine is original. From its part No.‘s and other markings the lower crankcase is undoubtably original but is believed by Mr. Sewell to be a factory replacement some time in its early life. The original factory numbering of 371 in the usual place on the front face of the cambox and the machining on the upper crank case confirm that the engine was at one time fitted with a supercharger. This also fits in with the factory records that show that Engine No. 371 was originally fitted to the Type 38A, Ch.#38473.

The current owner has had the engine rebuilt in May 2010. Running a new pressure fed crankshaft and a set of Carello rods. The pair of original blocks have been rebored and fitted with oversized pistons taking the car and its performance to Type 35T specification. The gearbox is original and has been fitted with the popular dog box modification for ease of use. The rear axle stamped No. 140 and ratio 12 x 56 is believed to matching to the car. The original front axle has been nickel plated as have the original and stamped steering arms.

With its discreetly fitted overdrive making it ideal for long distance touring, this is the perfect car for the busy season of tours and rallies that is already upon us. It is not every day that you get to experience the performance of Bugatti’s straight-eight engine in such a sporty four-seat open tourer as this.

Chassis BC 065
Engine 613 (ex Chassis 1045)

-A stunning example of what has to be one of the most sort after and usable Bugatti of all time.
-Fast, exhilarating, and very exciting to drive. It is very much on the handle with its Crosthwaite and Gardiner restored engine, potent Raymond Mays Camshaft and recently restored twin magnetos.
-Unstoppable on the VSCC Trails circuit and wonderfully versatile for the numerous Hill Climbs and Bugatti rallies and events around the globe.

Whether you want to dominate the muddy hills of the VSCC trials circuit, grace the winding roads of one of the many Bugatti rallies and events, or race up Prescott Hill; the Bugatti Brescia has to be one of the most exhilarating and usable Bugatti of all time. Derived from the 8 valve model introduced in 1910 and uprated to carry Bugatti’s characteristic reversed quarter-elliptical springs in 1913. The 16 valve version of this model was designed and built for an important international voiturette race scheduled to be held at Le Mans on the 16th of August 1914 but canceled due to the outbreak of war. With the war thankfully behind them, production began alongside the 8 valve model in February 1920.

Production built up slowly but, as would become characteristic of the great marque, it was bolstered by racing success. On the 29th of August 1920 works driver Ernst Fridrich took victory at the Coupe des Voiturettes at Le Mans. On the 8th of September 1921 Bugatti entered a team of four cars into the Voiturette Grand Prix held at Brescia in Italy. They took the first four places with Fridrich taking overall victory at an impressive average speed of over 70mph. From this point on these fabulous little racing cars have been affectionately known as the Brescia.

These early race cars with their 2m wheelbase were designated the Type 13. Although the Type 13 was the most famous, the majority of the models were either the Type 22 with its 2.4m wheelbase or the Type 23 with a 2.55m wheelbase. Fitted with a variety of striking and elegant sports as well as more conventional touring bodies they were a huge success. When production of the 16 valve model came to an end in mid 1926 a total of just over 2000 examples had been built.

This stunning example was painstakingly assembled using original parts collected over a period of time from well known Bugattistes by Wolf Zeuner in 1991. Built up using a number of significant original parts including engine No. 613 formerly of chassis No. 1045, an original back axle and brakeless Crosley manufactured Bugatti front axle.

Ownership of BC065 passed through Richard Leeson of Surbiton, who had purchased the car from a Sotherbies Auction, to a Mr. R. Gates in 1995. Mr. Gates commissioned John Foy to undertake an extensive overhaul of the car.

Before the work was fully completed the car was purchased the following year by it’s current owner. Himself an avid Bugatti enthusiast he had marque experts Crosthwaite and Gardiner completely rebuild the engine with no expense spared. Fitting a Brineton Engineering crankshaft, con rods and one of David Sewell’s potent Raymond Mays camshafts they dynoed the engine before fitting back in the car. As one would expected it has given many enjoyable and trouble free hours motoring ever since. Meticulously and regularly maintained, it has formed a proud part of the current owners collection for the last 16 years. With the original twin Bosch magnetos rebuilt just last year it is accompanied by its VSCC Buff Log Book, UK V5, road tax and MoT and is very much on the handle ready to go.

If you have not driven a Type 13 Brescia Bugatti it is an experience to behold and if you have I need say no more. Fast, agile and very exciting to drive, you have to reach into the heady heights of the 8 cylinder GP cars to experience anywhere near this kind of performance. Unstoppable on the VSCC Trails circuit and wonderfully versatile for the numerous Hill Climbs and Bugatti rallies and events around the globe. There is a very good reason why people don’t part with these fabulous little car very often and when they do they are not on the market for long!

ex-‘Bunny’ Phillips/ Terry Cardy
Chassis no. 4776 (believed originally 4935)
Price €750,000

• Formerly owned by two of the most respected Bugatti experts
• Built up using original Molsheim components
• Suitable for vintage racing, tours and fast road use
• Beautifully prepared and immensely fun to drive

Given that 80 years and one world war have passed since the heyday of these cars, it’s not surprising that the survival rate for totally genuine examples is relatively low. The ‘bitsa’, a car built up or restored using components (which were interchangeable) from different cars, is a long-established notion amongst vintage car enthusiasts and in particular Bugattistes. This is such a car, assembled over many years by American Bugatti collector Overton Axton ‘Bunny’ Phillips (1908-1999) but not completed before his death. At the time the car’s frame was believed to come from chassis 4776, a Type 35 delivered in June 1926 to Paris, and it was sold as such during the dispersal of the Phillips collection by Christie’s at their 1999 Pebble Beach auction. Subsequent research by the auction buyer, UK Bugatti historian and author Terry Cardy, suggested however that the frame (no. 636, therefore of probable 1929 manufacture) had come from chassis 4935, a Type 35B delivered new to racing driver Marcel Lehoux in Algiers in June 1929. This car had been driven by Lehoux in the VII Grand Prix of San Sebastian (3rd), the 1930 Monaco Grand Prix (DNF, rear axle) and the Grand Prix de l’ACF at Pau on 21st September 1930 (DNF, gearbox), by now equipped with twin rear fillers like the latest works cars. Later owners included Sceli (F) and Hamilton Upshur (USA) from whom Phillips is known to have acquired chassis 4935 in 1961. The American Bugatti Register (p.37) supports the idea that Phillips swapped the frames between the two Type 35s he owned, as does their numbering.

Terry Cardy completed the project with an engine built to twin-cam, Type 51 specification. The bodywork, which was restored by Dick Parravani, is believed to be of original Molsheim manufacture, as are most other major components except the replica alloy wheels. The completed car, still identified as ‘4776’ (Cardy had not yet purchased a cache of Phillips paperwork which mentioned the frame swap), was again sold by Christie’s at their 2004 Retromobile auction where it was acquired by the present owner. He imported the car to Switzerland where it has remained, unused except the occasional blast on the road with borrowed licence plates, ever since. “Fast and furious” is how he describes the experience, but work and other commitments have now determined that the Bugatti should find a new home where it will get the use it deserves. It is an exciting opportunity for the adrenalin seeking vintage motoring enthusiast and one which carries perhaps the most prestigious name of all.

Porez, France

This 8 cylinder supercharged 35b, mounted on a Type 38 chassis is certainly one of the most beautiful creations for many years. This Bugatti has been assembled using many genuine parts. The car was entirely constructed in Germany 4 years ago. Engine, gearbox and chassis have easily traceable numbers.

During the renovation the T35b was made more reliable by replacing the roller bearing crankshaft with a modern robust 5 bearing crank. This Bugatti is in concours condition, even though she is used weekly. A very fast reliable car which sounds and looks fantastic.

1937 Bugatti Type 57 Atalante

This stunning Type 57 Atalante Chassis number 57570 and engine number 420 was ordered by Mister R. Du Pouget in France and completed on October 1937 the 19th according to the Bugatti Trust archives. It has been ordered in black with some special fittings such as the non incorporated head lights ( indeed this was no more used at this time on factory bodied 57s ), half incorporated fog lights ( one off ), four pointed wings at their submit with a very nice and round back styled in a very similar way to the Atlantic. 57570 passed through two hands, until its purchase by Mister Lecorchet, a reputed French pioneer collector from Clermont-Ferrand. During the mid 1960s the car was repainted into its current colours and sold to Albert Prost from Roanne via the famous dealer Johnny Tuisberg located nearby Cannes. Albert Prost was assembling at this period his wonderful collection, which gathered Delages, Hispanos, Bugattis and Ferraris including a 250 LM. Albert Prost very sparely used the Atalante, accordingly it has been very rarely seen during his ownership. Like most of his cars it was carefully kept and maintained during four decades until his death in the early 2000s. The Type 57 was retained by the family until it was sold to a French collector in 2008. During his ownership, it made a sensational appearance to the “Centenaire Bugatti” held at Molsheim in 2009. Prior to our purchase in June 2011 it has been serviced by the Garage Novo near Montlhéry, the best French Bugatti specialist, who confirmed the amazing originality and authenticity from this Atalante. Indeed it was never dismantled, only serviced, refreshed and repainted when needed. Since the repaint in the late 1960s it has never been restored, having been very sparely used since, it shows a very little and nice patina but can be described has being in very nice condition. This stunning automobile which never left France until we received it, is a very unique opportunity to purchase one of most original Atalante, virtually coming from four decades of display in a private and rarely seen collection.

Bugatti Type 51 Recreation

Chassis No. BC133
-The stunning car you see before you here is a tool shop recreation of the legendary Bugatti Type 51.
-Road registered with a BC chassis number it is a true recreation right down to the roller-bearing crankshaft.
-Meticulously assembled using parts mainly supplied by Tula Engineering, Brineton Engineering and the Bugatti Owners Club.

To the Bugatti aficionado the Type 51 has to be the ultimate Grand Prix Bugatti. It was was the final development of arguably the most successful Grand Prix car of all time, the Type 35. Launched at the Paris Salon in 1930 the Type 51 was the direct replacement for the Type 35B, the main improvement being the engine. The never ending quest for speed is at the heart of motor racing and the time had come to look beyond the single camshaft configuration of the Type 35B. The inspiration came not from Bugatti’s European competitors but from the powerful American Millers.

An engine from one of these cars was acquired and put on test at the Bugatti factory and it was not long before the new twin cam engine was born. The Type 51’s crankcase, roller bearing crank, connecting rods and pistons were unchanged from the Type 35B. The significant difference was in the block. The Type 51 has one piece block with an integral head and two individual valve ports per cylinder, twin overhead camshafts and a modified inlet manifold creating a significant improvement in horsepower over its predecessor.

The Type 51 was a success straight from the start winning on its fist ever outing and going on to take numerous illustrious victories including winning the Monaco Grand Prix in 1931 and 1933. Raced by some of the greatest names in pre-war racing like Achille Varzi and Louis Chiron, the Type 51 was the pinnacle of the Bugatti’s racing legacy.

The stunning car you see before you here is a tool shop recreation of the Type 51. It is a true recreation right down to the roller-bearing crankshaft. Assembled by the owner, a renown Bugatti expert of over 40 years, using parts mainly supplied by Tula Engineering, Brineton Engineering and the Bugatti Owners Club.

The chassis has been beautifully crafted by Gino Hoskins while the engine was meticulously assembled by internationally respected Bugatti specialists Tula Engineering using Brineton parts. The front axle is a Bugatti Owners Club forging with Brineton stub axles, the gearbox was manufactured by Brineton and the limited-slip rear axle was assembled by the owner using Brineton parts. The supercharger and 1:1.22 supercharger drive were again assembled by the owner using Tula, Brineton and Bugatti Owners Club parts. Breathing through a replica Solex 2 1/4” updraft carburetor and sparked by an original Scintilla MN magneto, no expense or time has been spared on putting together this stunning example. Beautifully finished and presented throughout, the body was made by the well known builders Peel Brothers.

Impressive to drive to say the least. Powerful, fast, with that legendary Grand Prix Bugatti road holding. Few pre-war cars match the Type 51’s impressive braking capabilities, direct and agile steering and ‘knife through butter’ like gear shift. With a BC chassis number and road registration the current owner has effortlessly used the car on numerous long distance tours and rallies. Currently set up on petrol it can be easily converted to methanol for circuit use. With the price of original Grand Prix Bugatti ever climbing it is not every day that the opportunity to acquire such a well executed, accurate and road registered recreation of a Grand Prix Bugatti, let alone a Type 51.

Bugatti Type 35B

Chassis No. BC 111
-Expertly built up by one of the most respected names in the Bugatti world around a number of significant original parts and with a Brineton Engineering roller-bearing crankshaft.
-Road registered with a BC chassis number.
-Very much ready for road or track use. All you have to do is swing the handle!

Nothing combines art, engineering and racing pedigree to the same extent as the legendary Bugatti Type 35B. The straight 8 2.3-litre supercharged engine resembles a piece of art as much as a racing engine. With that distinctive sound that you only get from an eight cylinder Bugatti, their raw speed and legendary road holding, it is not difficult to see why they captivate peoples passion and hold their position at the pinnacle of motor racing history.

The Type 35 made its debut at the 1924 Paris Motor Show and embodied all of Ettore Bugatti’s experience, talent and sense of aesthetic beauty. With its sleek streamlined body and trademark horseshoe radiator, it is one of the iconic designs of the 20th century.

The Type 35’s beauty was matched by its performance. With its debut at the 1924 French Grand Prix at Lyon marred by a defective batch of tires the Type 35 soon realized its potential at the San Sebastian Grand Prix later in the season. In its second season the Type 35 really started to show its true form.

Until early 1926 the Type 35 had only been run either as a 2-litre or 2-litre Supercharged (35C). In early 1926 in preparation for the Targa Florio, Bugatti lengthened the stroke of its 2-litre engine to 2.3-litre to produce the 35T. This was to become the start of the 35 in its ultimate format. Bugatti’s superior road holding meant the team of three works cars entered into the event, driven by Constantini, Goux and Minoia, finished 1st, 2nd and 3rd at a record speed and contributed to Bugatti winning the 1926 World Championship.

For the 1927 season the 35T was supercharged, initially using the smaller Type 39 supercharger it was briefly known as the Targa Compressor (TC). At some point later in the year the larger 185mm wide blower was fitted and the fabulous 35B was born.

In 1928 the 1 1/2 litre Grand Prix formula as abandoned and it was from this point on that the potent and delicately handling Type 35B was to come into its own and consolidate Bugatti’s reputation for years to come. The Bugatti Type 35 in different guises became a dominant force winning countless Grand Prix and sports car races in the late 20’s and early 30’s in the hands of Works drivers and amateurs alike. Convincingly winning the Targa Florio in 1925, 1926, 1927, 1928 and 1929; the French Grand Prix every year from 1926 to 1930 and what has to be the most significant victories in motor racing history when William Grover-Williams won the inaugural Monaco Grand Prix in 1929. So successful was the Type 35 that out of 23 cars on the grid for the 1930 Monaco Grand Prix 14 of them were Bugatti. Type 35B’s are still raced hard to this day at some of the most prestigious circuits around the world including competing for that same cup the Williams won all those years ago.

This stunning car has been painstakingly built up to the highest standards by one of the leading names in the Bugatti world. Beautifully presented throughout and importantly running a correct 2.3-litre Supercharged roller-bearing crankshaft engine, most of the none original parts have been sourced from Brineton Engineering. Both the owner and restorer of this fabulous example have gone to great lengths with all of the intricate details that are require to make these cars correct.

Sitting on a Gino Hoskins chassis the front axle, gearbox and rear axle are all original factory parts and as such make this a “three out of five” car. A lot of time and effort have gone into the fine details of this car. The body has been beautifully crafted and as you can see the car currently carries a complete set of road equipment including a pair of original Marshall head lamps.

Accompanied by a split and full tonneau as well as an aluminium side cowing for racing, a number of years work have gone into the preparation of this stunning car. With the final touches recently completed the engine has been run up on the dyno and is very much ready to go. It is ideal for road and track alike.

With its BC chassis number, UK road registration and with original parts such as these few and far between and commanding a very high premium if they are available; this is a rare opportunity to acquire such a well appointed example of what has to be one of the most successful Grand Prix cars of all time.
