Bugatti market in 2008

One may think that Bugattis are extremely scarce. A considerable number is offered though on the open market. Of course a number of cars will be sold under hand as well. (which may be as high as the number of cars shown here!)

Here Bugattis are listed that were offered for sale or have been on auction in 2008. If available asking prices or offered prices are mentioned. All Bugattis are ordered by type. Where available, chassis nos. are given.

2008 was an exceptional year, with the sale of two important collections, the Malmerspach collection and the Peter Williamson collection. Sufficient was written about both collections, both in the Bugatti Revue (follow the links) as well as in the Bugatti Page. Cars from any of these collections will be marked with an "M" or a "W". On a lesser scale, also fellow-Dutchman Pim Hasscher, who died in 2007, were sold.

This makes a total of 104! With this, 2008 was quite a lot better than the 54 of the year before, even when not counting the 29 cars from both collections mentioned.

It is very much possible that cars appear in the list twice, if they were offered in different places.

Most of these Bugattis have been featured on the Bugatti Page, where details may be found on the Sales page, on the cars that have been for sale page, the Events page or the News page.
