Chassis:
It is believed that the second of four Atlantic bodies built by Bugatti was fitted on chassis 57453. Never delivered to a customer, the supercharged Atlantic was shown during the 1937 Auto Salon in Nice where it is pictured here. Bugatti apparently made the show car available to the great privateer racer William Grover or 'Williams', who won the very first Monaco Grand Prix in a Bugatti back in 1929. What subsequently happened to this oft-forgotten Atlantic is not known. It could very well be hidden away in the one shed in south of France not yet visited by car historians.
