This vintage Bugatti could sell for almost $2 million

Seemingly pulled right from the grainy, black-and-white footage of the first attempts at motor racing, a 1925 Bugatti Type 35 Grand Prix Two Seater for sale in Monaco this weekend is a wonderful example of beauty by mechanical simplicity.

Bonhams estimates a sale price of $1.1 million to $1.7 million.

A purpose-built race car from the famous French manufacturer of luxurious and speedy automobiles, the car was raced to some success in Europe by a private owner before finding a new home in Australia, where it has remained to this day.

The car is well documented and exceptionally well maintained, despite almost constant usage to date - including several long rallies including drives across the entirety of Australia.

Take a look.
