The car has been rebuilt with care, including a rebuilt engine and gearbox with only 10,800 miles since. The bodywork is mainly in fibreglass, preventing rust, and it features custom-made parts like the dashboard and steering wheel. Recent maintenance includes brake and suspension overhaul, electrical work, and new fuel hoses. It has an MOT until August 2025 with no advisories. It runs well, starts promptly, and has good oil pressure. However, it's a Bugatti lookalike, not a genuine Bugatti.
