Following the sale of the Bugatti factory, many leftover parts, spares, and tools were made available for sale. Several Bugatti enthusiasts and historians acquired mementos from the Bugatti factory, saving them from destruction and preserving them for posterity. German banker Uwe Hucke was an avid Bugatti collector who acquired many rare artifacts and documents during the 1960s and 1970s, often through Luxembourg-based dealer Bart Loyens, who maintained close contacts in Molsheim.

This distinctive horse-drawn cart, reportedly designed and used by Ettore Bugatti during the 1930s, was part of the Hucke collection for approximately 40 years. Acquired in 2010 by the Mullin Collection, it has since been displayed at the Mullin Automotive Museum and featured in the exhibit, The Art of Bugatti. Presented in unrestored condition, the cart features wire wheels, drum brakes, cycle fenders, and distinctive twin-spring suspension.

*Please note that all of the Lots in this Auction have been in long-term static storage at the Mullin Automotive Museum and may not be currently operational. They will require mechanical attention and in some cases significant restoration prior to any road use.
