AI Listing Summary
This is a unique 1914/24 Bugatti Type 22-Style 'Eight-Valve' 'Prince Henry' Open Tourer, assembled by the late Uwe Hucke using original Bugatti components, including an 8-valve engine from 1914. The chassis is a modified post-WWI Type 22 frame, and the body is a later 'Prince Henry' style, making it a charming and attractive vintage car despite being a compilation of parts.
Condition

This Bugatti is a unique, assembled vehicle using original parts from different years, primarily 1914-1926. While the engine and some components are original and well-preserved, the chassis is a modified post-WWI Type 22 frame. The bodywork is a later addition in the 'Prince Henry' style. Given the mix of original and later components, along with the modifications, it cannot be rated as pristine or near-perfect. The car has been well-preserved since 2002 with minimal running, suggesting good maintenance. Overall, the car presents well but with the understanding that it's a compilation of parts rather than a fully original, untouched vehicle.

The great, much missed Bugatti enthusiast and world authority Uwe Hucke based this essentially Type 22 'Prince Henry' with its open three-seat bodywork upon a long-accumulated collection of original Bugatti components, most significantly the original 8-valve 4-cylinder engine serial '329' which powers this car today.
The engine had been fitted as-new in what was later assumed to be Bugatti Type 22 chassis '678' which had been delivered to its first owner in August 1914.
A surviving document offered with the car records its engine's delivery, within that initial chassis, a...
