Later cars also featured a cover over the fender-mounted spare tire.<\/p>\n<p>Originally all the Galibiers were produced by Carrosserie Bugatti and some were bodied to the Bugatti design by Gangloff, Van Vooren and Graber.<\/p>\n<p>The Galibier befitted from all the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/category\/brand\/bugatti\/bugatti-type-57\/\">Type 57<\/a> engineering, development and upgrades throughout production. It used the twin-overhead camshaft 3.3-litre inline-8 which was good for 135 bhp in standard form.<\/p>\n<p>Chassis arrangements included Rudge Witworth wire wheels, fifteen inch drum brakes and an uncluttered chassis having good strength. As with most Bugatti designs the Type 57 was relatively simple in design, but the result of complicated craftsmanship.<\/p>\n<p>Many Galibiers have been rebodied over time into more sporting roadsters and the occasional cabriolet. Some of the these were done in period by factory coachbuilders, but many were done well into the post-war period with replica bodies.<\/p>\n<p>Our estimate is that Bugatti produced 65 Galibiers throughout the three series of Type 57 production and 25% are now wearing different coachwork.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Pictures &amp; Gallery<\/h2>\n<p>See full <a
