This Bugatti Replica got away, but there are more like it here.

This replica of a Bugatti Type 35 racer was assembled under prior ownership and is said to have been subsequently refurbished. The car is finished in blue over black vinyl upholstery, and power is from a Ford 2.3-liter inline-four paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes black-painted wire wheels, dual windscreens, a driver’s side mirror, and leather hood straps. This Type 35 replica was acquired by the selling dealer in 2023 and is now offered at no reserve in Florida with a set of removed fenders and a North Carolina reconstructed title listing the car as 1929 “Buga Replica.”
