Bugatti Type 35 T 2.3 Litre Recreation

Price: 210 000 EUR
Year: 1926
Location: Europe
Colour: Blue
Interior: Brown leather
If one car symbolizes by itself the Bugatti « Pur Sang » myth, the Bugatti Type 35 is this car. Introduced in 1924 during the Grand Prix de l’Automobile Club de France held in Lyon, the Bugatti Type 35 and its derivates will definitively make Bugatti a key player in racing. 
Still today, the Type 35 holds an outstanding record of over 2,000 racing wins on the track and in hillclimbing events. Ettore Bugatti had decided to offer for sale this fabulous race car to anyone who could afford it, in order to be the leading force in racing during the late 1920s, not fearing that privateers would beat works pilots as long as a Bugatti car would win the race. 
Produced between 1924 and 1931, the Bugatti T35 will be sold in 4 additional versions to the original model, all powered by the same inline 8 engine with capacities ranging from 1,991 to 2,262 cc. Approximately 640 cars will be produced over the 7 year career of the Type 35. 
Following the original model, the Type 35A was released as the “Race Imitation 35A,” with a more useable engine than its Grand Prix sisters. In 1926, the Type 35 Targa Florio, later called Type 35T is released. Launched to participate in the race of the same name, it is equipped with a re-bored engine displacing 2.3 litres. The 35T is the lease popular Type 35 with only 13 units sold. 
In 1927, the Type 35C appears. Considered by many as the best Type 35 with its 2-liter, 120 bhp supercharged engine, the 35C is however not the most powerful Type 35. Alongside the 35C, Bugatti released the T 35B, officially named Type 35TC since it is equipped with the Type 35T’s engine equipped with the same Roots supercharger as the Type 35C. The Type 35B developed 140 bhp and could reach 210 km/h. 
The car we are offering for sale is a beautiful recreation of the rare Bugatti Type 35T. Faithful to the original Type 35T, it is equipped with several traditional accessories such as the leather bag used originally as the tool kit. 
This Bugatti Type 35T is immediately available in the South of France.

Bugatti Type 13 8 Valves Torpedo

Price: 235 000 EUR
Year: 1913
Location: Europe
Mileage: 50 km (31 ml)
Chassis N.: 506
Engine N.: 155
Colour: Blue
Interior: Black leather
One of the very first Bugatti manufactured in Molsheim, Germany! (As in 1913 Molsheim factory and all Alsace region was a part of Germany).
From Wikipedia:
"Upon starting operations at his new factory in Molsheim, Bugatti refined his light shaft-driven car into the Type 13 racer. This included boring the engine out to 65 mm for a total of 1.4 L (1368 cc/83 in3). A major advance was the 4-valve head Bugatti designed — one of the first of its type ever conceived. Power output with dual Zenith Carburetters reached 30 hp (22 kW) at 4500 rpm, more than adequate for the 660 lb (300 kg) car. Leaf springs were now fitted all around, and the car rode on a roughly 2 m (79 in) wheelbase.
The new company produced five examples in 1910, and entered the French Grand Prix at Le Mans in 1911. The tiny Bugatti looked out of place at the race, but calmly took second place after seven hours of racing."
The present car is in excellent working order, a full service was completed early 2010. It runs very well up to 70 Km/h and can climb any ramp with its 4 speed transmission.

BMW Z1 One of 193 in this color.

Price: 30 000 EUR
Year: 1990


Location:
 Europe
Mileage: 92 000 km (57 166 ml)
Chassis N.: WBABA91070AL06029
Colour: Blue
Interior: Grey 
Introduced at the 1987 Frankfurt Auto Show, the BMW Z1 marked the return of BMW on a market it had left to its competitors for nearly 30 years, since the production of the BMW 507 had stopped in 1959: the small roadster market.
The Z1 was designed to create passion and seduce buyers into purchasing a fun and surprising car. The engineering team was given no rules to create the car. With this project, BMW wanted to ensure that the niche market for two-seat roadsters was alive, and make the Z1 the first of a kind. 
Built around the engine and gearbox of the 325i, the Z1’s monocoque frame is built by Baur and uses all the available technologies to ensure the rigidity of the chassis. Handling is particularly impressive, even by modern standards. 
But the true originality of the Z1 resides in its doors. Instead of the conventional side opening, they are driven down into the body of the car. Safety is excellent thanks to the height of the flanks, making it legal to drive the Z1 with its doors opened or closed. 
As soon as it was presented, it was an instant success. BMW claimed they had 5,000 orders prior to the beginning of the production, and shortly after it had started to arrive on the road, they apparently had 35,000 orders for this innovative roadster. 
However, production quickly slowed down. The burst of the automobile speculation in 1989 leads to the understanding that most orders were purely speculative. In 1991, after only 4 years in production, BMW stopped selling the Z1. Only 8,000 units were built, nearly half of them in 1990 alone. 

The BMW Z1 we are offering for sale is a beautiful late 1990 model. Delivered new in France in the superb “Monza Blue” color, production numbers indicate that only 6 cars were delivered in this shade in France. What’s more, of the total production, only 193 cars were ordered in this color, making it one of the rarest ones available – most Z1 roadsters were sold in black, red or dark green. 
Particularly cherished, this Z1 has only 92,000 km on the clock, a low mileage considering the robustness of BMW’s inline 6. The excellent condition of the car indicates that it was well-maintained all its life. 
This beautiful BMW Z1 is immediately available in France with its French registration.

BMW 2800 CS (E9) Group 2 - 5 Speed - Classic

Price: 87 500 EUR
Year: 1969
Location: Europe
Chassis N.: Upon request
Colour: Orange
Interior: Black
In the late 1960s, the BMW line-up lacked a 6-cylinder coupé able to compete withMercedes’ own 250 SE and 280 SE, respectively launched in 1965 and 1967. 
Using the underpinnings of the 2000C and 2000CS, the 2800 CS replaced them in 1969. Longer than its predecessors, the 2800 CS allowed the use of the all 2,800cc, 6-cylinder engine from the E3 7-Series developing 170 bhp. 
The BMW 2800 CS we are happy to offer for sale is a genuine Group 2 car used in the Italian touring car championship from 1969 to 1971. It was very successful in the hands of Italian driver Giuseppe Tarpani, taking 3rd overall place in the 1970 Championship in the 3000cc class.
Developping 280 bhp (dyno-tested), this exceptional BMW 2800 CS Group 2 is equipped with a 5-speed Getrag gearbox and three Weber carburetors. The important lot of spares available with the car allows to race in either the 1969 or 1971 specifications. 
This BMW 2800 CS Group 2 is eligible in most historical races including Le Mans Classic. With its exceptional level of performance and its perfect, ready-to-race condition, this BMW 2800 CS is a serious competitor for top spots in vintage races. 
This BMW 2800 CS Groupe 2 is immediately available in France. A road registration can be done for this car.
