1934 Bugatti Type 57 Aravis Drophead Coupe

This car was delivered in 1934 as a Type 57 Galbiar sedan. In 1937, the owner returned the car to the factory for 'Repairs' to save taxes. Only the frame and a few odd pieces were kept and a whole new car was created with hydraulic brakes, soft engine mounts, new differential, and an entirely new 2-seat, disappearing top, Aravis body created by Paul Nee.

It is thought that this Belgian coach maker was chosen because Bugatti was indebted to the King of Belgium at this time.

This car is one of only fourteen 2-seat Type 57s built.

No auction information available for this vehicle at this time.
