The Type 57 twin camshaft engine produced 130 horse power and were available from March 1934. During the production of the Type 57 some sports versions were made, namely the 57S, Type 57C and a very few 57SC’s. In total, approximately 725 of all the model Type 57′s were produced.
The engine was a remarkable piece of engineering even by today’s standards. The single piece crankshaft had full pressure lubrication while the twin-camshafts were driven from the pinion at the rear of the engine. The crankcase was of cast aluminum with Bonalite invar-strut pistons being fitted in most of the cars.

There’s an old saying, especially for cars at auction. All you need is only 2 people who really want the car and can afford the car.

Isn’t it gorgeous! Completely different to the Bugattis they’re making now. I almost wouldn’t want to see it restored … so much more authentic. Seeing the original leather, original stitching (or lack thereof) and original floor materials is worth a little dirt. The only problem is that it would degenerate more every time you sat in it
That is astronomical for a car my house is nearly worth the same as that !
Lovely car, would I pay 6 mill for it? Erm yes I probably would!
Un-real I cannot believe some one would pay that sort of money for a load of old metal terrible when there are starving tramps and kids out there that could do with a tenner and these posh tit heads are going to spend that sort of money on a car like this, why not buy a Bugaati Veyron cheaper and a hell of a lot better and it will to be worth around that one day !!!!!! People are bloody stupid !!!!
If I had the money I would buy a car like that! It is a beauty and a unique classic.
that is a very nice car but i don’t think i would buy it if i had that kind of money lol imagine if that car gets stolen one day … some one would be very disappointed lol

Wow, to be quite honest, I am surprised that such a car is still around. Nowadays it seems that such finds are only found in barns and old run down garages. This is very, very cool. Oh and thanks for being one of the few DoFollow sites. I used to be but I would receive so many Spam comments I had to go the NoFollow way, but haven’t seen the spam comments go down. I’ll probably be going back to DoFollow again, it’s the natural way of the internet I think. Thanks again, awesome post.

This car is AMAZING! By far the most gorgeous automobile I have seen. Just think about how much it would cost to repair this car!
