The chassis frame presented here is one of three known reproductions reportedly produced for the Schlumpf Brothers during the 1970s by rolling stock manufacturer Alstom SA of Belfort, France. Similar in many ways to the original design for the Type 41, one of these frames was used to build a replica of the Jean Bugatti-designed Roadster that had been built for Armand Esders. Stored for decades among the Schlumpf Reserve Collection in Malmerspach, France, this chassis frame was acquired by the Mullin Collection in 2008. With its extraordinary scale and connection to the Schlumpf Collection, this chassis frame ought to make a fantastic display and conversation starter among any Bugatti collection.
