For Sale: 1927 Bugatti Type 35 in Halton Hills, Ontario

1927 Pur Sang Bugatti Type 35 Grand Prix For Sale - Hand Crafted, One Owner, Never Driven! LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1927 Pur Sang Bugatti Type 35 Grand Prix A small company in Argentina, filled with incredible craftsmen called Pur Sang builds truly extraordinary copies of vintage Bugattis and Alfa Romeos with every exacting detail and engineering equal to the originals. Each is carefully factory built, with all components produced in Pur Sang's own facility, and is designed as not merely a replica but a literal "new" car that is true to the original in every important sense. The company is most famous for their Bugatti Type 35, which is visually near-identical to, and has the same performance, exhaust note, and thrilling driving characteristics as the original Molsheim-built cars. Ettore Bugatti's diminutive masterpiece racked up nearly 2000 victories in the late 1920s, making it arguably the most successful racing car of all time. Type 35s won the Targa Florio road race in Sicily five times in a row, and the Monaco Grand Prix twice. Excepting the success of Bentleys at Le Mans in the same period, Bugattis dominated racing until arrival of the Vittoria Jano-engineered Alfa Romeos. The Type 35 Pur Sang reveals the skill and passion of its creators with hand formed all-alloy, superbly finished to a high standard, and includes mudguards for road use. The cockpit features supple tan leather, which is sure to wear in like a favorite pair of gloves as you pile on the miles. Evocative period details include Marchal headlamps, a Boyce Motometer, and leather straps tying down the bonnet and side-mounted spare wheel. Ettore Bugatti's distinctive 8-spoke alloy wheels are faithfully reproduced in cast aluminum and incorporate the brake drums as original - a clever solution to address brake wear during grueling endurance races. The wheels are wrapped with period block-tread Excelsior tires to ensure an authentic look and handling characteristics. In the snug two-place cockpit, the driver is met with just the bare necessities for piloting a Grand Prix-bred machine - just a tach, oil and fuel pressure gauges, and a clock. The snarling 2.3-liter inline-eight evokes images of French motor racing heroes like Louis Chiron and Helle Nice sliding their Type 35s by the scruff around the dusty circuits of Europe. With overhead cams and a centrifugal supercharger, these featherweight cars made upward of 130 horsepower in their time, and with the improved internals and materials used by Pur Sang Argentina, the output is undoubtedly higher. That power is sent rearward via a 4-speed manual gearbox with a reverse H-pattern change. This Type 35 offered here is finished in a beautiful shade of dark blue with a complementing tan leather seat upholstery. In addition, the Grand Prix was specified with full road equipment, including cycle fenders, Marchal headlights, Scintilla tail lights, and tiny, very cleverly concealed turn signals, ideal for actual use on modern roads. Having never been used, this example remains in showroom new condition. The Pur Sang Bugatti, simply put, offers the best of all possible worlds-the exact experience of using a great vintage Bugatti, but with improved durability and ease of maintenance.
