Chassis:
Acquired new by Edouard Michel and finished in a striking yellow and black paintscheme, this is one of just 19 Type 43A Roadsters built. Although built on a frame from 1929, it was not delivered until 1934 and as such, it was one of the last two Type 43s to leave the factory. Michel would own the Type 43A for two years only but it remained in French hands. After the War, it was owned for a decade by Antoine Thibeau before it joined the collection of Serge Pozzoli in 1955. In 1962, it was re-finished in a two-tone grey colour-scheme that it wears to this day. Pozzoli eventually sold the car to another great Bugatti enthusiast, Uwe Hucke, in 1978. Still in highly original condition, it had two further German owners before it was briefly owned by William Ainscough between 2009 and 2014. Chassis 43309 then joined the stable of Dutch Bugatti enthusiast Jack Braam Ruben. Beautifully preserved and still with original engine, gearbox, rear axle and frame, it is today one of only 10 Type 43As known to have survived. In 2024, it was consigned to the Gooding & Co. London Auction together with three other Bugattis from the Braam Ruben collection.
