AI Listing Summary
This 1934 Bugatti Type 57 Galibier is a remarkably well-preserved example, retaining its original body, interior, and dashboard. With a known history and low ownership, this Galibier, chassis number 57140 and engine number 35, has undergone some modifications, but remains largely untouched since the 1960s, making it a highly desirable and historically significant vehicle.

Condition
7
The car is described as being in remarkable condition and practically untouched since the 1960s. The body, seats, and interior are original, along with the dashboard and instruments. Some modifications were made in 1960, but overall, it is very well-preserved. Considering this, the car seems to fall between Very Good and Excellent condition.
