K3001 went on to enjoy many additional racing success between 1933 and 1938, including participating in the1933 JCC International Trophy Race at Brooklands with Earl Howe behind the wheel, as well as notable outings at the Shelsley Walsh Hill Climb, the Coppa Montenegro, the Prix de Bern, and Donnington Park. Having passed through various owners' hands, it was eventually acquired in 1995 by a world-renowned MG expert. In recent years, K3001 has continued to compete on the international scene, having participated at the Monaco Historique Grand Prix, the Le Mans Classic, and at the Goodwood Revival. This incredible, rare, and well-documented piece of pre-war motorsport history is expected to be highly sought-after by collectors at the upcoming auction (Estimate: €550,000–€600,000). No exclusive collector car auction is complete without a Bugatti, but RM is in the enviable position of currently having four fabulous examples consigned to its May sale. Joining the previously announced 1930 Bugatti Type 46 Coupé Superprofilée is a 1927 Type 37 Grand Prix, a 1929 Type 40 Roadster, and a 1937 Type 57 Ventoux. The Type 57 Ventoux, chassis no. 57524, is particularly noteworthy as a 'one-off' example with a fastback, tear drop designed coachwork. A full matching-numbers car, it is a simply stunning example of classically elegant Grand Routier styling, and it was fully restored in 2006, having spent its life in exceptionally complete and original condition. (Estimate: €290,000–€400,000).The 1929 Type 40, chassis no. 40845, was delivered new to its first lucky owner in Paris in August 1930. Sporting the delightful and rare Jean Bugatti Roadster style of coachwork in classic red and black, only 39 Type 40s of this style were manufactured in period. This matching-numbers car has been in single ownership for 25 years, and it is estimated to fetch between €250,000 and €300,000. Last, but by no means least, of the recently consigned Bugatti trio, is the 1927 Type 37 Grand Prix, chassis 37254, surely one of the most iconic and classically beautiful racing cars of the 1920s. Just eight owners from new, it is offered fresh to the market, having been in the care of its current owner for 30 years. It boasts a fascinating early history, having been originally delivered new to London, England, before exported to Asia, where it spent time in China, Malaysia, and Singapore, enjoying some minor competition in period. In more recent decades, the car returned to Germany and competed in the 1972 Mille Miglia, before returning to its spiritual home in France, where it has resided ever since. This very original Bugatti is expected to garner strong interest from collectors (Estimate: €750,000–€1,000,000). Limited consignment opportunities for RM's sale at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este are available.
