This gorgeous 1938 Bugatti Type 57SC Gangloff Coupe that underwent a 10 year reconstruction🛠 is up for sale at € 2.4M and currently owned by @zore.smd (Instagram).

The Type 57S/SC is one of the best-known Bugatti cars. The “S” stood for “surbaissé” (“lowered”). It included a v-shaped dip at the bottom of the radiator and mesh grilles on either side of the engine compartment.

Lowering the car was a major undertaking. The rear axle now passed through the rear frame rather than riding under it, and a dry-sump lubrication system was required to fit the engine under the new low hood.

Just two supercharged cars were originally built but many were returned to the factory in Molsheim for the installation of a supercharger.

A rediscovered Type 57 sold for €3.4 million euros at auction on 7 February 2009 at a motor show in Paris.

This stunning example is in fact a reconstruction of the original Gangloff Coupe built according to the original sketches on a Type 101 chassis and powered by an engine from a Type 57 Atlante, all Bugatti and worth a pretty penny. 〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️
