1932 Bugatti Type 55 Roadster<\/h1>\n

In 1927 Bugatti had produced, in the form of the Type 43 Grand Spor<\/a>t, the first 100mph Grand Prix-engined sporting chassis suitable for everyday road use. It was in effect a close coupled four-seater touring model powered by the supercharged Type 35B Grand Prix engine<\/a>. When in 1931 the Type 35 range<\/a> was superseded by the twin-camshaft engined but almost identical Type 51<\/a> a corresponding road version soon followed.<\/p>\n

This comprised a slightly detuned version of the new engine mounted in the concurrent Type 54 Grand Prix<\/a> car’s heavier chassis but, unlike the Type 43<\/a>, this new model was invariably a two-seater which was often referred to, quite justifiably, as the Super Sport. Indeed it truly was the ultimate exclusive supercar of the early Thirties.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even its closest rival, the 8C Alfa Romeo, was produced in far greater numbers, the majority of which were in long-chassis form and often fitted with four-seater coachwork. In contrast almost half of the 38 Type 55 Bugattis built were fitted with flamboyant Jean Bugatti-designed roadster or closed coup\u00c3\u00a9 coachwork, the classic roadster being considered by many cognoscenti to be by far the most outstandingly attractive sports car ever offered to the motoring public.<\/p>\n

Chassis & Sales<\/h2>\n

\"1932<\/a>55214-1932 Bugatti Type 55 ‘Tula Engineering’ Roadster. Originally a Vanvooren Cabriolet for dealer Dominique Lamberjack. It then passed through the collection of H.H. ‘Tom’ Thomas who owned no less than 7 Type 55 Roadsters. At some point the car was disassembled and rebuilt with a Type 44 engine and Type 43 front axle. In the 1980s Tula Engineering rebuilt the car and fabricated a new body and interior around the original frame #31. It retained an original supercharger, bulkhead, gearbox casing, fuel tank and front hood. Story by Christies Inc<\/p>\n
