France • 26 Jun 2022
Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This Bugatti Type 35 A, rebuilt in the 1980s and later with an engine rebuild in the 2000s, boasts a rich history and provenance connected to famous Bugatti experts. While it presents a desirable patina from its time in a museum, it requires some mechanical attention and cosmetic improvements to reach its full potential, offering an entry into classic Bugatti ownership at a fraction of the cost of an original.
Condition
6
The car presents with a nice patina, indicating it has been well-preserved for its age but not fully restored to a like-new condition. It has been in a museum for 20 years, suggesting limited use but potential issues from storage. The need for minor mechanical overhaul and potential improvements to the hood indicate it's not in perfect condition, placing it in the 'Very Good' to 'Good' range.

Pierre Dellière, a native of Avignon, did his military service in Indochina in the early 1950’s.
He had always been a mechanics fanatic, so he bought a Vespa there, which he decided to bring back to France once he was demobilized.
There follows an incredible journey of 16,000km and three months, to Paris, with its share of adventure and encounters.
This journey, worthy of the greatest adventurers, attests to Pierre’s incredible character.
