1930 Bugatti Type 49

Registration Number: SV6603

Chassis Number: 49125

Under the current ownership for well over 30 years & first time to Market. This car was discovered by the current onwer in Hungary & brought back to the UK in cicumstances best left unsaid as it was behind the iron curtain at the time. The old body was too dilapidated to use & thus the reamains were discarded prior to transport with aided greatly with its export.

Upon arrival the car was taken to world wide expert Ivan Dutton who totally reuilt the car mechanically leaving no nut unturned. The engine was rebuilt with single plug block since twin plug were not then available, with 8;1 high compression pistons and a high ratio CWP giving 30 mph/000revs, very relaxed for touring. It has correct t49 Bugatti wheels. ALL COMPONENTS are correct original Bugatti items, “ Five out of Five. It then went to Consett, Co Durham for a jointly designed body to be built by Geoff Henderson, inspired by the Jean Bugatti beauty t55 but with a Dickey seat.

The body is totally non original. It has been looked after by Gentry Restoration for the last 20 years, and used in many VSCC events including Prescott and Silverstone Pomeroy event. It starts instantly and runs impeccably with amazing top gear flexibility being the ideal European Tour vehicle. There is space for either the Mother-in-law dog or luggage in the shapely tail, but not both ! It is in Get in and Go condition not requiring costly recommissioning, or being used as a Show Pony. The current owner can no longer drive it necessitating its sale.

Since build the car has covered some 4875 miles meaning it is now nicely run in. Make no mistake this is a fast car with excellent performance yet also relaxed at higher speeds. The body has simply beautiful lines with a veloxesque windscreen & pleasing black accents to the yellow coachwork. It really is a quintessential pre war roadster well suited to cads, dandy's & bounders???? It is of a quailty where it may be shown at concours events in confidence.
