This 1987 Bugatti Concourse is an exceptionally rare De La
Chapelle-built tribute to the legendary Bugatti Type 55, combining
timeless prewar styling with modern engineering and drivability.
Produced during the brief period when De La Chapelle was authorized
to use the Bugatti name, this example boasts its original Bugatti
badging and plaque acknowledging the approval of the marque's
owners at the time. Built around licensed BMW mechanical
components, including a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine, and fully
independent suspension; the car offers a unique ownership
experience that captures the elegance and presence of one of the
world's most celebrated sports cars.
Accompanied by extensive documentation-including importation
records, testing paperwork, manuals, correspondence, and original
sales literature. The photos attached are a fraction of the
original documentation and messages back and forth from the
builder, importer, and assembler of this car. Everything was
saved.
While dry weight is under 2,000 pounds, this is not a small car,
with the wheelbase being 110 inches. It has disk brakes on the
front wheels, drums on the rear and the body sits on a modern steel
ladder chassis with tubular extensions. Unequal length wish bones
and anti-roll bars, with telescopic shock absorbers, form the front
and rear suspensions.
