The Coppa d'Oro Villa
d'Este public award, the main prize decided by visitors, went to the
Bugatti 57C Cabriolet Voll & Ruhrbeck of 1939. The car's chassis was
one of the last to be delivered to German Bugatti importer Noll of
Düsseldorf before the outbreak of the Second World War.
Voll & Ruhrbeck were
commissioned with constructing a special body for the chassis. The
Bugatti was subsequently owned by Norwegian Olympic ice-skating
champion Sonja Heine. Following a complete restoration, the Bugatti
was making its first European appearance in its original version.
James A. Patterson is the current owner.
