Unveiled on the 110th anniversary of Ettore Bugatti’s birth, the
EB110 was a poster car of the 1990s, and the 30,000 kms
example offered, one of just 30 Super Sport variants produced,
was the star of the show for the Zoute Grand Prix crowd, being
photographed and filmed throughout the weekend. |
Its popularity continued in the packed saleroom, which had a new cabaret layout, with the car being the
subject of a 15-way bidding war between the saleroom, the internet and telephone bidders, before it was sold

In its slipstream was, a ‘timewarp’ 1989 Ferrari F40 Berlinetta which achieved €1,840,000 in the
Belgian seaside resort. The one-owner example of Ferrari’s 40th anniversary supercar, ordered from
Garage Francorchamps, had been dry-stored since 1992 and had covered fewer than 1,800 kilometres from
new. |
