The Bugatti Type 30 was the first eight-cylinder production Bugatti. They were produced between 1922 and early 1926, with almost exactly 600 examples built. This touring car Bugatti Type 30 was ordered new by Bugatti agent Dubuisson of St. Quintin for his customer, Mr. Chavel, and that the chassis was produced in January of 1926. Dubuisson purchased the rolling chassis only, with an unknown coachbuilder producing the four-passenger open Tourer body, with two doors – one door was located on the left for the front passenger, and one on the right.
