A new arrival !!!!!……

Since a couple of years one of the most beautiful Type 57’s is part of the collection. Type 57 with Chassis number 57222… Better known as the Grand Raid. The car presented on the 1935 Salon de Paris, and driven in the 1935 Paris- Nice Rally by Veyron and Wurmser. The car is at the moment in England for restouration. Hopefully it will soon appear in the Museum. The picture was found on the website of the Bugatti Club France. As soon as pictures are available of the restored car they will be posted….

Attached a picture of the Grand Raid taken in the Dutch “Autotron” museum during a special Bugatti theme exposition in the 90’s. This is how the car looked before the restoration.
