1929 Bugatti Type 35B #4927
This Bugatti 35 TC #4927 is described in Conway's book The Bugatti Grand Prix as a Type 35 TC delivered in February 1929 to a Mr. Matarazzo in Sao Paulo (Brazil). Then the car went to Argentina. Our Bugatti historian believes that it is the car shown pages 131 to 133 in the nice book about the Argentinian Bugattis written by Cristian Bertsh and Estanislan Iacona. As we can see in one of the pictures the car which had been badly damaged in an accident had been bought in some circumstances which are still unknown to us. We meet it later in Italy after reconstruction in the hands of Mr. Francesco Guasti author of the noted Italian Bugatti Register then the property of Mr. Roberto Vesco who sold #4927 to the current owner. For many years the latter enjoyed driving the car in numerous historic events on the road, in hill climbing and in track racing. The car shows a very beautiful patina and although we are unable to know how many original parts were used in the rebuilding, this 35 TC looks very attractive. As a Brazilian friend told me about his Ferrari 250 LM, the car’s soul is still there. This Bugatti appears in perfect condition and excellent running order.
This lot is part of the auction that will be held on 25th Sept 2011,
