Where the Batch Begins: Type 35A

The Bugatti Type 35A, chassis 4541, was the prototype of the first batch of 18 cars, with its engine stamped “1.” We inspected and carefully stripped the car, focusing on its mechanical aspects. Our work restored it to reliable running condition while retaining its originality for the owner to enjoy on the road.

A Grand Bugatti Restored

T44 Restoration

The Bugatti T44 was produced between 1927 and 1930. In total, just over 1000 of them were produced and it is a most beautiful and impressive touring car. It was produced with a 3.0 litre, 24-valve, 8-cylinder engine. It's a car that wants to be driven and after many years in storage, one of our customers sent us one that needed a lot of love and attention.

Roller Bearing Crankshaft

The roller bearing crankshaft developed by Bugatti prior to 1924 was a major contributing factor for the formidable racing success achieved by the marque. It's an item of engineering excellence and we decided to put one on display in our reception area.
