Bugatti Type 30

Information

Type 30 Grand Prix Usine

The oldest Bugatti 8-cylinder racing car still in existence

Discovered in the south-east of France, near Istres, in the mid-1960s by Pierre Dellière, a pioneer collector and wellknown Bugatti enthusiast. At the time, this Bugatti was complete: chassis, running gear, gearbox, steering, axles, radiator, canopy, firewall and a few body parts, including windscreens and wings. The engine was missing, so Pierre Dellière bought a Type 30 engine that he found on a boat sailing on Lake Geneva. Once restored, he registered the car with the chassis number stamped on the engine (#4466) and took part in a large number of rallies.
