Bugatti 57 SC Corsica Award Winning Version CMC M-136 Limited Edition 3000 pieces
Description
Unique in the world
In 1937, Colonel Godfrey Giles, an Englishman, acquired a Bugatti 57S chassis to build a roadster. His brother, Eric Giles, took over the design development of the body, and the English coachbuilder Corsica manufactured the bodywork based on these plans. The result was a roadster of captivating beauty, registered with the license plate GU7 in 1938.
In 1985, the car came into the possession of the renowned classic car collector John Mozart from California. At the end of 1995, John Mozart commissioned a complete restoration of the car, placing particular emphasis on an exclusive cockpit interior. In recognition of the successful restoration and the vehicle's overall unique appearance, the Corsica won the coveted "Best of Show" award at the famous Pebble Beach Concours in 1998.
CMC has recreated the Mozart vehicle in its current glory with the striking cockpit design as a limited edition of 3,000 units worldwide.
