there was a teenager in the 1950s who joined the Bugatti Owners’ Club, and whose life long collection of Bugatti memorabilia is coming to auction Nov 7th -18th, the online catalogue will not be available until Oct 24th or Nov 3rd

a collector who has owned several Bugatti automobiles and has been collecting since joining the Bugatti Owners’ Club as a teenager in the 1950s. 

For decades, the consignor worked tirelessly to curate this historically important collection of Bugatti artifacts. 

One such effort included placing newspaper ads throughout the Alsace region of France—the very heart and soul of the Bugatti marque and legacy. As a result, the consignor met firsthand with the people who responded to the ads in order to not only acquire their memorabilia, but to also engage with their stories and personal experiences with the Bugatti marque and history.

Items include a Breguet Chronograph Clock that was commissioned by Ettore for the Bugatti Royale,
the 1937 Le Mans 24 Hours winner’s trophy, 
the 1928 ACF Grand Prix Trophy 
and the 1930 Monaco Grand Prix photo album that was presented to Bugatti driver René Dreyfus.
