This Bugatti EB110 Super Sport (Chassis 39021) survived a few levels of bureaucracy – including a bankruptcy seizure – thanks to a series of lucky chances.
Decades ago, when Bugatti went bust, everything was seized as part of efforts to repay creditors.
Everything but the EB110 Super Sport you see here, which ‘survived’ the process for a reason that sounds unbelievable today.
Now, around three decades later, it could break auction records.
You can’t make this stuff up
In 1987, after years of financial difficulties, Bugatti was sold to an Italian businessman who did his best to revamp the brand but failed.
In 1995, just seven years later, Bugatti went bust.
The gates of the factory were padlocked, and everything in it was forfeited as part of the bankruptcy auction.
But this was 1995, and back then, records were not digitized or, in most cases, precise.
With a legacy automaker, even before the digital era, you could’ve expected a reasonable level of accuracy when it came to the company’s records.
But a small-batch supercar manufacturer? No chance.
As a result, this Bugatti EB110 Super Sport was never accounted for simply because it physically wasn’t there.
On top of that, there was no paper record of it, and no one thought to look.
In 2019, the car resurfaced again, and now – with a handful of miles on the clock – it’s ready to break auction records.
This could be the lowest-mileage Bugatti EB110 SS
The car was recovered in Germany in 2019.
It was in great condition, showing just 674 kilometers (413 miles), which makes it the lowest-mileage EB110 SS in existence.
Only 30 of these exist, and this is arguably the best available.
The fact it won Best in Class at both The Quail in 2022 and Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance in 2023 further proves it.
Finished in Bugatti blue with a dark gray leather interior, the car uses a quad-turbocharged 3.5L V12 producing 603 horsepower.
Scheduled to cross the block on Saturday, May 16, 2026, this Bugatti could fetch at least $2.5 million, although, interestingly, it is being offered at no reserve
