AI Listing Summary
This 1931 Bugatti Type 49 Open Tourer, chassis BC149, is a well-maintained classic with a rich history, including ownership within the same family since 1979. Rebuilt by Ernie Allen, it features a 3.3-liter engine, Cotal electromagnetic gearbox, and has been extensively used in Bugatti and VSCC events.

Condition
6
The car is described as being in "good running order throughout" and "well sorted", indicating that it is mechanically sound. Cosmetically, the description notes that the car is composed of original Bugatti parts and in-period ancillaries, with some replacements for worn-out components. This suggests that the car has been maintained and restored as needed, but it may show some signs of wear consistent with its age and use. The bodywork has been replaced, and the engine has been rebuilt with new components, indicating that the car has been actively maintained and improved. Given these factors, a condition rating of 'Good' seems appropriate, as the car has moderate wear but is still in good running order and retains many original parts.
