This is an original 1938 Bugatti London letterhead.

It was sent on September 12, 1938 to a prospective client in the USA and explains about the then-current Type 57 and the upcoming changes for the 1939 season.

The second page also lists the prices for the bare chassis but in standard form and as Type 57.C and the prices for the three standard factory bodies (Ventoux, Stelvia and Galibier). With hindsight it is still amazing to see that the Galibier Saloon was the most expensive of the three and the exiting Ventoux the cheapest...

The letter is signed by (Colonel) W. Sorel of Automobiles Ettore Bugatti of Brixton Road, London, UK.

A great period item!

Only 1 pc. available of course.
