The charisma of classic cars, brought to you by {name}

Franco Vigorito

Chassis no. 44477 – engine no. 44477.

Original number plates PA(003xxx) and original documents of the time with original booklet-type registration certificate from 1929, with the text: ‘n.b nuovo di fabbrica servizio privato’.

ASI approval no. 1007 from 1982, a wonderful and very rare unit.

Equipped with a beautiful, sleek bodywork by Ghia Torino, the car body is made of wood and pegamoid (Weyman), still perfectly preserved, which makes it one of the most beautiful Type 44s, given its exceptional condition.

Considered by Bugatti brand experts to be the most preserved and original Bugatti, making it a candidate for the category: ‘most preserved car’ at all the world’s most important competitions, from ‘Pebble Beach’ to ‘Villa d’Este’.

Car preserved in wonderful and original condition, one of a kind. A conservative restoration was recently carried out only for the mudguards by a major body shop specialising exclusively in high-end cars.

Only and exclusively Italian since its origin, 3 previous owners, owned by the same family for 78 years, still corresponding to production when new.

Car published in some of the world’s most famous magazines and featured on the cover of the very important British magazine ‘The automobile’.

Car equipped with ‘catalogue des pieces detaches du chassis 3 litres, type 44’ (catalogue of spare parts prices) and ‘notice de conduite et d’entretien du chassis 3 litres type 44’ (original operating and maintenance instructions of the time), perfectly legible for reference.

It can be viewed in the province of Bergamo, Italy.
