    Just wanted to let the community and any interested parties know that the #24 Benoist Type 59/50S will soon be going up for auction on Bring a Trailer. We are ironing out the final details and once done, the auction will go live and we'll be sure to follow up with a link to the auction.

    Until then, here are two videos showing the start up procedure, as well as the car going for a quick spin around the museum where it is currently housed. If you know any parties looking for a 30's vintage racing Bugatti with a wonderful history and an exhaust note that will stir you to your very core, please point them in this direction.

    How much of the original car remains in this iteration? Chassis? Motor? Gear box? Rear end? Body?
