Bugatti Pre Pro Value

Post by nickjones »

Via email.

Hi Nick,
I've got a 1926 Bugatti, type 35, no 6 in metallic green,

Its looking a little beat up paint wise but other than that is in good condition.
I had a guy try to tell me it's only worth a tenner the other day, but I suspect from what I have read on your site it could be worth in the region of £300.

I am thinking of selling this car... But unsure how to price it, any advice on its value. I've enclosed pics so you can see paint damage.

Many thanks for your time.

Debra

You'd be lucky to get a tenner for this very poor repaint!

Below is the real thing. (not mine, sadly!)

I agree, it does look like a poor repaint and no way could it emulate the metallic Green version shown in Bob's picture, they are poles apart regards their 'Time-Lines'.

Sadly a poor repaint Nick as its done in non metallic green - it also has half the front screen area broken away which is probably why it got repainted. Metallic green has short axle housings on the rear almost flush with the body plus other changes and dash should be lime green not standard red. Value around a quid only in my opinion.
