Bugatti Type 40 Duval

A splendid example of a Bugatti Type 40 with a wonderful history, full matching number and only three owners since its birth. Built in 1928 (only 790 examples in total) it was delivered in early 1929 in Paris to Robert Senechal's Stand - Auto dealer, with special Duval (Boulogne, Seine) coachwork. The car with this elegant Beige and Black colour combination was bought by a famous French ballerina who kept it on her estate until the 1950s. It was then sold to the Jeangirard family who used it with passion until 2017. Now, preserved with a splendid patina, it has been mechanically restored and is ready to be used for the most prestigious motoring events such as the 1000 Miglia and Concours d'Elegance. ASI Targa Oro homologated, FIVA, Italian registered with current registration in the 1000 Miglia Register. ______ Splendid example of a Bugatti Type 40 with a wonderful history, full matching numbers, and only three owners since new.
