Every now and then I offer something special by Private Treaty .

This 1925 Bugatti Type 35A Grand Prix was delivered to the Paris dealership in February 1926. Known history from delivery to ownership by the Prost family until 2013 when it was acquired by the present owner and fully restored. It is believed 139 examples of the Type 35A were produced from May 1925 to October 1927.  Of these, 54 are thought to have survived, of which some 35, including this one, retain their original engine. It is thought that only five, including this example still have the original bodywork with the individual body number stamped inside their body. Detailed written and photographic reports by respected international Bugatti specialists David Sewell and Mark Morris are available upon request.  On file is also a report by Hans Matti.  A photographic report by Mark Morris following the 2013-2014 restoration by Tula Engineering is also available. Morris concluded his 2015 post Tula Engineering restoration report saying that this motorcar, “Is a fine original example of the Type 35A Grand Prix Bugatti.  Like most cars which have been in existence for c90 years there have been changes made, such as a new radiator, road springs upgraded, aluminum wheels etc, but what is key to the provenance is that it retains original the engine, the gearbox, as well as the front and rear axles. The other remarkable fact is that the motorcar retains the original factory coachwork, including the bonnet, the scuttle, the tail and part of the under tray section as well as its original chassis plate.”
