Decades later, the car underwent a painstaking restoration though the engine was unsalvageable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model is a perfect 1:8 scale recreation of the second car, the fabled ‘La Voiture Noire’ (The Black Car). Bugatti was so taken by the grace and sophistication of his creation that he had the second Atlantic built for his own personal use. At the outbreak of the Second World War, La Voiture Noire was sent to a safe region, as German troops invaded Alsace, and lost forever. Its last historical mention is on a list of cars that were to be sent to Rue Alfred Daney in Bordeaux in February 1941. Its disappearance more than 80 years ago remains the biggest mystery in Bugatti’s fabled history. Today, “La Voiture Noire” lives on as a myth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo create ‘La Voiture Noire’, we used our supremely accurate digital scanning on R.B. Pope’s model, kindly allowed by its current owner Ralph Lauren, and, with the cooperation of Bugatti's automotive historian Julius Kruta, developed this stunningly detailed and precise replica at scale. Using archived images and 3D data acquired from one of only two confirmed surviving examples of the 57SC Atlantic, this is without doubt the best reference to chassis number 57453 in existence. This fine scale model has been handcrafted and finished in our workshops with the co-operation and assistance of the manufacturer regarding original finishes, materials, archive imagery and drawings.

Painted a gray-metallic blue, No. 57374 was built without the \"C\" specification and it is believed that it had been equipped with various components from the Aérolithe prototype before the car was brought back to Molsheim in order to have the \"C\" specification fitted, Lord Rothschild’s request. He would continue to use the car until 1941 when he abandoned it in the middle of a field after a malfunctioning supercharger caused the engine to explode. A mechanic bought 57374 and repaired it, before selling it to a wealthy doctor in 1945. This doctor brought the 57SC to the US and sold it to Bugatti enthusiast Mike Oliver, who amongst other changes to adapt the Atlantic to US regulations, painted it a dark red. The car returned to Molshiem in 1953 to have the supercharger refitted. The car changed hands in 1971 for a total of $59k to collector Peter Williamson, who actively used the car for the next 32 years. He returned it to its original state and exhibited at the 2003 edition of Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance where it won the \"Best of Show\" award. No. 57374 remained in the Williamson family's possession until 2010 when it was sold for no less than $30 million to collector Peter Mullin who now exhibits it in his French car masterpiece collection at the Mullin Automotive Museum located in Oxnard, CA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eR.B.

Considered one of the most precious automobiles ever produced, this masterpiece of design has long encapsulated a unique fusion of artistry and engineering that is still revered to this day. Only four of these cars were ever created between 1936 and 1938, with just three surviving to the present day, and each one has earned a reputation as one of the most valuable vehicles in the world, both in monetary value and historical significance. The Type 57SC was remarkable for its time and continues to be so, showcasing design features and performance metrics that were decidedly futuristic. Brought to life under the vision of Jean Bugatti, this awe-inspiring Coupe continues to captivate designers and car enthusiasts alike, serving as a perennial source of inspiration in the world of automotive design. The enduring legacy of the Type 57SC Atlantic Coupe is a testament to its revolutionary role in shaping automotive history, its influence felt across generations of vehicles that followed. Today, it symbolises not only BUGATTI’s illustrious heritage, but also the pinnacle of what a luxury automobile can achieve in terms of beauty, performance, and timeless appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAmalgam Collection and Alan Thornton\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmalgam is delighted to partner with artist Alan Thornton to introduce a collection of BUGATTI Type 57SC Atlantic prints. Precise and technical in nature, these prints isolate the subject, laying the image onto Alan’s signature metallic background, that focuses the viewer’s eye on the sculptural, organic qualities of iconic cars and planes. Alan’s obsession with form, function and beauty, combined with his enduring passion for all things automotive and mechanical, align perfectly with Amalgam’s mission.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Process\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA reprographic technique that simulates continuous-tone imagery through the use of dots, thus generating a gradient-like effect, Alan's Half Tone artwork brings his traditional approach to screen printing into the contemporary digital world. Applied directly on to the brushed aluminium composite panels, the ink is then cured by a UV light that bonds it to the surface of the substrate, resulting in a resistant and long-lasting work of art. This approach opens up endless ways to add texture and depth by building the image up in multiple layers, very much like the screen-printing process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece features a meticulously executed platinum‑gilded finish, achieved through the decorative application of metal to the Half Tone Flat Bed print in thin layers, creating a unique richness to the piece. Each sheet of platinum leaf is applied entirely by hand, using a special adhesive known as size to give the appearance of solid platinum. No two applications are ever the same; each carries its own subtle character, shaped by the steady hand and practiced judgement of the artisan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandling Your Print\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHalf Tone Flat Bed prints finished in Platinum Leaf are supplied framed in a satin silver tray frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHalf Tone Flat Bed Fine Art Prints of the BUGATTI Type 57sc Atlantic Side View finished in Platinum Leaf are limited to just 10 copies.
