1927 Pur Sang Bugatti Type 35

A Racer's Spirit: Capturing a $170k Pur Sang Bugatti in South Austin.

This car has so many intricate details it’s incredible to be around. The craftsmanship is stunning and Pur Sang has obviously done their homework.

What I liked about this car is that the owner drove it hard. He raced it and put it through its paces. It ended up fetching a respectable $170,000 on Bring a Trailer.
