1939 BUGATTI T57C GANGLOFF ARAVIS COUPE on auction.
Sold new in 1938 as a Gangloff two-door coupe in the Aravis style. The car was imported into the U.S. by Mr. Dobbeleer from Belgium in about 1950 and sold to Steve Hamlin of upper state New York where it remained in relatively unused condition until 1996, when we acquired the car.
It was then sent to Competition Motors of Essex, MA, where the body was removed and the chassis was stripped, cleaned and rebuilt as necessary. In mid 1997 the car was shipped to Alan Taylor Company in Escondido, CA where the balance of the restoration was completed. Finished in Diamond Black and Field Green with Bourbon leather. The car is in beautiful condition and runs well.

Tarrytown, New York (Lyndhurst)
Christie's International Motor Cars is returning to the beautiful grounds of Lyndhurst in Tarrytown, New York, with a number of exceptional motor cars from the Collection of Oscar Davis, a prominent East Coast collector with a special passion for Bugattis.
One of the eight Bugattis from the collection is a very rare 1931 Type 50 Roadster with coachwork designed by Jean Bugatti, one of the great pre-war luxury cars ever produced. Another intriguing example is a 1926 Bugatti Type 35A, which was an affordable road-going version of the more expensive Type 35 Grand Prix cars. Only 130 were produced and Edsel Ford owned this original and low-mileage example for many years.
The Oscar Davis Collection also features a 1934 Alfa Romeo 1750 Grand Sport; a 1926 Bugatti Type 38 Tourer with coachwork by Lavocat & Marsaud; a 1929 Bugatti Type 40 Torpedo Roadster; a 1936 Bugatti Type 57 Cabriolet; and a 1939 Bugatti Type 57C Roadster.
Highlights from other collections include a 1960 Austin Healey 300 MKI BT-7 and a 1957 Bentley S1 Continental Drophead Coupe ("Be-Bop Bentley") and a 1926 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost Berwick Sedan (ex-Barbra Streisand).

May 7, 2000 Hillsborough Concours D'Elegance USA
On May 7, 2000 Bugattis will be the featured marque at the 44th annual Hillsborough Concours D'Elegance, in northern California. We would like to hear from Bugatti owners who wish to either have their cars judged in competition, or to merely have their cars on display. We have some excellent cars in this area, including John Mozart's 1998 Pebble Beach Best-in-Show Bugatti, the 1938 Type 57SC Corsica Roadster.
The Hillsborough show is limited to about 200 vehicles, and we consistently draw a field of elegant classic cars. Hillsborough is an upscale community in the San Francisco Bay Area. We are also close to the Silicon Valley, so we can draw wealthy buyers.
We are now pulling together a mailing list for invitees. Please let me know if you want to be invited to the show, or if you know someone who would like to be included. Along with the Bugattis, we are also featuring French-bodied cars such as Delage and Delahaye.

This is the first American exhibition to include the work of three generations of the Bugatti family. Carlo Bugatti (1856-1940) was active in Milan from the 1880s until about 1904 chiefly as a designer of furniture and interior decorations. He then moved to Paris, where he created some furniture, but also cast metal work, particularly in silver. Examples of his furniture and silver, along with drawings and plaster models by him are to be included in the show. He retired about 1910. His son Rembrandt Bugatti (1885-1916) worked as a sculptor, especially of animals and chiefly in bronze, from about 1900 until his suicide in 1916. Sculpture and drawings by him will be shown. Another of Carlo's sons, Ettore (1881-1947) manufactured automobiles, working in Milan, Germany, and then at his own factory in Molsheim, Alsace. His son Jean (1909-1939) designed automobiles for his father's company in the 1930s. Six automobiles will be included in the exhibition, including a 1930 Royale and a Type 57 SC, Atlantic. Curated by Henry Hawley.
Organised by the Enthousiastes Bugatti France

Held at Prescott Hill
In 1996 I received a diary from my mother, dating from 1938, containing a report of a holiday trip.
In the summer of '38 the Paul family decided to take a holiday in France with their Bugatti type 37 sports car (without supercharger). This Bugatti had just participated for the second time at the 'Grand prix des Frontières' at Chimay in the south of Belgium. On the second of August they started out from their home in Brussels. The journey passed through Luxembourg, Strasbourg. The Bugatti factory at Molsheim was also visited. In the Savoie near Val-d'Isere they got stuck. It took 5 days before the car wa s repaired. Due to this mishap, a visit to 'Le Mont Ventoux' was skipped. They visited St Etienne, Le Puy de Dome, Biarritz and back to Dinnart. There Morlaix was skipped, so finally via Rouen the trip ended on 28 august.
This story is written down in a diary. A reprint will be available during the Rally. We will drive almost the same route, but this time (try to) avoid skipping any parts of it.
We offer you the following: A trip around France with your Bugatti or other historic car. It will take place just 60 Years after the original trip made by Alex and Wilhelmien Paul in 1938. Wilhelmien will be the guest of honour, she will celebrate her 85th birthday on the 7th of August in Annecy.
Unfortunately there are only a few pictures from those days, who can help me?
We invite you to join us and participate in the whole trip or just selected parts of it.
By booking in advance there is also the possibility of making hotel reservations via the organisers.
Best Regards, The organising team.

PATRICK TAMBAY TO RETURN TO GLEN, TO DEBUT BUGATTI IN GLEN CONTINENTAL
WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. -- Two familiar names from the past will team up at Watkins Glen International during the June 23-25 NASCAR/IMSA weekend. Former Formula One and Can-Am star Patrick Tambay will drive the Bugatti EB 110 in its American debut in the Glen Continental.
The Monaco Racing Team will mark the return of the Bugatti name after an absence of nearly 60 years from competition in the United States. The team is managed by owner Gildo Pallanca-Pastor -- who will co-drive with Tambay at the Glen -- and technical director Daniel Pernoud, who was formerly of the Ligier Formula 1 team. The car will compete in the Exxon GTS-1 class, its first test in what the team hopes will be a run for the 1996 GTS-1 title.

One of the cars listed for auction (the cheapest one) is only a prototype. He "doesn't know" if it actually runs.
Some of the cars have up to 30,000 km on them but the engines have been refurbished.
The highlight of the collection is Mr. Rose's favorite car, an exquisite 1927 Type 35B Bugatti (estimate: $400,000-$600,000) which he added to his collection after a 10 year search. The tiny, blue, classic car, owned and raced by the well-known French female racing driver Mme. Hell-Nice, and exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1927, has a super-charged 8-cylinder, 2.3 liter engine and a top speed of over 130 mph.
The Type 35 Bugatti has the distinction of winning more races than any other race
car in history. Mr. Rose has the original Bugatti factory invoice, as well as a
number of period photographs of Mme. Nice racing her car -- all of which will be
included in the sale.
(estimate: $400,000-$600,000)
