AI Listing Summary
This 1930 Bugatti Type 40 Grand Sport is a high-quality rebuild using many original parts, including a genuine chassis and engine components. While it has been updated for modern driving with an electric fan and overdrive (requiring connection), the car presents beautifully with a patina of age and rally use.

Condition
6
The car is described as being in a beautiful state of presentation and patinated by kilometers. It has been maintained to drive, and the soft top was redone two years ago. The description indicates that while it is well-maintained, it has been used and shows some signs of wear consistent with its age and use in rallies.
