To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION WITHOUT RESERVE at RM Sothebys' Paris event, 4 - 5 February 2025. rnOffered Without Reserve | ?480,000 - ?600,000 EUR rnrnA highly desirable Cabriolet 'Stelvio' by esteemed coachbuilder GangloffrnFeatures special profiled wings by GangloffrnImportantly retains its original body, chassis, chassis plate, engine, and gearboxrnKnown history for much of its existencernInspected by Pierre-Yves Laugier with assistance from Kees Jansenrn rnrnPlease note this car is titled as 1935.rnrnVeuillez noter que ce vehicule est immatricule en 1935. rnrnThis Type 57 was assembled at the Molsheim factory during April 1936 and it was transported to Gangloff's workshop at Colmar on 25 July 1936. The attractive four-seat 'Stelvio' body was finished on 9 September 1936 and was invoiced at a price of 16,000 French francs with a further 450 francs for creating a special profile for the front wings. The running chassis cost 45.000 francs.rnrnChassis 57431 was delivered to its first owner, Mr Muracciole, on 16 September 1936-this is believed to be Etienne Muracciole. Etienne was a lawyer and General Counsel, while a noted car and aeroplane enthusiast having served as the President of the Automobile Club of Constantine and the Aeroclub in 1928, before being elected President of the Automobile Club of Algeria in 1934. It then passed into the hands of Emile Knecht, the importer for Algeria of Terrot motorcycles. The Bugatti was then sold to a certain 'Pasha', who raced stock cars in Alger.rnrnIn 1962, an American called David Mize travelled to Algeria and discovered Pasha's collection of Delahayes, Delages, and this Type 57. In the summer of 1963, he purchased chassis 57431 and exported it to Marseille. It was received by Guy Huet and Rob Noorlander, who drove it back to Holland in the rain without a hood! During 1964, it was stored at Noorlander's garage in Pijnacker, sat among other Bugatti's awaiting shipment to New York. It disappeared after Guy Huet delivered the car to Antwerp and it was left on the side of the port for several weeks.rnrnAt the start of the early 1970s, the car was acquired by Jacques Antoine de Biolley of Brussels, before being purchased by Edmond Perry on 29 June 1976. Perry is best known for his company APAL, which built VW-Porsche specials. Perry sold the car to Ennio Gianaroli of Liege in 1994. Gianaroli was an Italian emigre collector of Ferraris and Bugattis. He sold the car to Jos Vander Stappen, whose son Pascale sold this Bugatti to The Curated Collection in November 2016.rnrnAnalysis by Pierre-Yves Laugier shows that the car retains its original chassis plate, and the engine is stamped with 57431. Its original number, 314, has been erased and restamped with 108, but the two crankcases retain the original assembly number 81 so it is the original engine. The frame number 84 is in the series of the new design of mounting with a suspended engine and redesigned crossmembers.rnrnThe gearbox is stamped 314 and corresponds with the original engine number. The Gangloff body is entirely original, and the wood frame appears to be old. The paintwork has been completed more recently. Interested parties should note that this Bugatti has been on static display for many years so it will require some recommissioning prior to use.rnrnA wonderful example of the model, this Type 57 Cabriolet would be perfect for any Bugatti enthusiast for the summer months.rnrnRM Sotheby's would like to thank Pierre-Yves Laugier and Kees Jansen for their assistance with cataloguing this Bugatti.rnTo view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM Sotheby's website.
