Ordered and built for Jarrott and Letts, the Bugatti concessionaire in London, chassis 4634 was the first Type 35A to be imported to England. The company sold the car to Chris Staniland, a young RAF pilot. Staniland raced 4634 at the British Automobile Racing Club opening event at Brooklands and other amateur club races that year, including the Bugatti Cup. The Type 35A's last race with Staniland was in April 1927 at Brooklands, where he placed 2nd and 3rd.
The 4634 was purchased by Gordon Neill and moved to Belfast, Ireland and, through a series of owners, was used in competition where it achieved further success. When Dick Crosthwaite purchased the car around 1962, it had been disassembled and only the chassis, gearbox, and engine remained. With help from marque expert, Hugh Conway, Crosthwaite transformed the vehicle into a Type 35C, installing original Bugatti parts, new coachwork, a five roller bearing crankshaft, and a Roots supercharger.
In 1984 Hamish Moffatt purchased the Bugatti, completed its restoration and sold it to Terry Bennett in the United States from whom it was purchased by Peter Mullin in 1991.
