This Bugatti Type 57 Stelvio was ordered on March 5, 1934, by the Bugatti agent J.B. Arnaud for his client, a dentist named Raymond Peretti of Poitiers, France. Due to a backlog of orders, the expected delivery date was postponed by several months, and Mr. Peretti did not receive his Bugatti until July. At the time, the car wore a Black and Ivory exterior with a Havana leather interior and light beige hood.
By the summer of 1937, the Bugatti had traveled roughly 40,000 kilometers when it suffered a cracked cylinder block and seized pistons.
During World War II, it is believed that the Bugatti was taken by the Germans. After the war, the car entered the care of André Pigé, who soon passed away following a swimming accent in 1947, and his family subsequently sold the car. It remained in France for the following decade until it was sold to Joseph Gest of La Jolla, California, in the early 1960s. While in his care, the car was given a restoration courtesy of Bunny Phillips.
Over the next two decades that followed, the car entered the ownership of the Blackhawk Collection and Bill Jacobs, who had the car restored for a second time in 1985. In 1986, it was sold to Terence Adderley and was part of his collection for the next 37 years. In 2023, the car was offered for sale at auction and had an estimated value of $400,000 - $500,000. The lot was sold for the sum of $467,000, which included the buyer's premium.
