1968 VW BUGATTI TYPE 35 REPLICA

This Bugatti Type 35 replica is a well detailed creation, based on Volkswagen Beetle underpinnings, with a 1600cc air-cooled Beetle engine. The odometer shows 17,853 miles.

We don't have any maintenance history, but the V5C is present, indicating 7 former keepers. It correctly records this as a 1600cc “Type 35 Replica” which was “assembled from parts some or all of which were not new”. The date of first registration is given as 21st March 1968. Its latest MoT expired in 2011.

In the vendor's words, “The exposed engine, detailed dashboard with Bugatti-style instrumentation, riveted aluminium effect fascia and cycle wings all combine to deliver an authentic pre-War competition appearance.”

 The car does start and drive, but we're advised that the brakes are not very good.
