1933 Bugatti Type 55 Navigation
The Type 55 Roadster is essentially a competition Bugatti, utilizing much of the mechanical configuration of the Type 51 Grand Prix, but with Jean Bugatti's elegant road-going coachwork.
This Type 55 is one of 13 roadsters built and five retaining their original coachwork and mechanicals. It was delivered to Mr. Mercy of Paris, then Conte Georges d'Arnoux. The Count sold the car to 'Le Commissaire' of the Uni Sport Bike Club of France, who used it to patrol Paris cycle races. In 1953, the roadster was purchased by Miles Coverdale, Bugatti historian and collector, who commissioned a repaint and upholstery refresh in 1955. In 2018, it ran the Salon Prive rally at almost 100 mph - with throttle to spare. This Bugatti Type 55 appears today fresh from restoration.
