1937 Bugatti Type 57S Open Sports

The Bugatti Type 57S has racing heritage, sophistication, and rarity, with only 42 chassis produced. This example of the prewar supercar was ordered by shipping magnate Robert Ropner, who commissioned Corsica Coachworks to build a sporting four-seater open tourer body. The car was delivered in February 1937, in black paint with cream leather. It was eventually acquired by Bill Turnbull in 1969, who commenced a restoration but never completed it. When the current owner acquired the Bugatti, it was still dismantled in dry storage - the body was original and in good condition, and large areas of the original black paint were still extant. Certain discoveries, such as lightening holes along the length of the chassis, suggest the car may have been raced. The current owner has had this 1937 Bugatti fully and painstakingly restored to its former glory.
