Reportedly Owned by Roland Bugatti
Equipped with Ornate Wrought Iron Seat Frame
Part of the Mullin Collection for the Last 15 Years
Ettore Bugatti was an avid equestrian and built carriages for his horses to pull around his estate in Molsheim, France. According to a history summary on file, this was one such carriage and was left to his son Roland upon Ettore’s passing in 1947. When Roland passed away in 1977, this “Gig,” or two-wheeled carriage, was left to his partner Jacqueline Pouquet. After passing through another French collection and a museum in Provence, the Mullin Collection acquired this Bugatti Gig Carriage in 2008.
