One Team. Two Cars.
A 10 year journey to built two pieces of art.
It all started with the barn find of the century in France.
We purchased a Ventoux body with the dream of recreating the missing Type 57 Bugatti Atlantic but quickly realised this car warranted a full restoration of its own.
We soon learnt it would not be a small job
Following the car’s unveiling at the Classics Museum in 2015, the team implemented a plan to strip the Bugatti down completely. The nut and bolt restoration of the Type 57 Ventoux would require a systematic and methodical approach to remove and preserve every part.
The first offical outing for the 1937 Bugatti Ventoux - the 2025 Art Deco Festival in Napier
The dream wasn’t lost.
Building what we believe to be the first-ever faithful recreation of the Bugatti ‘La Voiture Noire’ would arguably be one of the most difficult and complex projects we could undertake…..in 2018 we took on the challenge..
“As we reveal the Atlantic today, I would like to acknowledge those who dedicated most of the past decade to create a faithful recreation of “La Voiture Noire”, No. 57453. This was a challenge in itself; however, the team also worked simultaneously on the full, beautiful restoration of the Type 57 Ventoux.”
