You can buy a Bugatti Type 57 Ventoux for 100,000 euros

That Bugatti always costs 5 million is no longer the case. At least, when it comes to very old models. Because it’s no secret that classic cars sell well, but the Bugatti Type 57 Ventoux from 1936 is a very special story. The great thing about it is: you can still buy it, because it is being auctioned.

The time will come in three days, when the auction hammer will fall on this old Bugatti. Why is it so cheap? That’s because he just needs a little attention. Or yes, say calmly, very little.

Bugatti Type 57 Ventoux

The car originally belonged to the circus owner’s collection. According to various stories, he used the vehicle to transport various young elephants back and forth. So you get into an elephant car if you get a car. The car has never been restored, so if you want to buy it, it will take time. However, we hope that true car enthusiasts will not turn their backs on this. What we haven’t mentioned yet is that there is a hole in the crankcase on the original engine block. For the non-car experts among us: this means big problems. Still, it can be worth it, because in good condition it is not surprising that a pre-war Bugatti can be worth up to millions.

To cover

American auction site, that’s where you need to go to buy this very rare Bugatti. How much does that cost? At the time of writing, the highest bid was over $100,000, which is less than a ton of euros. Only 700 Bugatti’s were made, which further increases its rarity. We’d love to see him driving through Amsterdam soon. However, we bet you’ll have to stay out of the eco zone!
