AI Listing Summary
This is a rare opportunity to own a 1927 Bugatti T35 B, offered from 47 years of private ownership. It retains matching numbers and high originality, with known ownership history, making it a highly desirable collector's item.
Condition
7
While the car has been well-maintained, it has been raced and rallied, and has undergone multiple ownership and modifications throughout its history. Although it retains a high degree of originality and the description indicates that Bonhams was able to inspect the car and found that it started and ran perfectly, the need for some reconditioning is still present. The car has been repainted, and although documentation, including copies of factory records, are included, the chassis plate is missing. Close inspection is advised.
