The car spent the first seven years of its life in Paris, before being purchased in 1937 by the the Parisian dealer, Dominique Lamberjack.
The Roadster was relocated to California in the 1950s where collector Rudi van Daalen Wetters bought it.
It spent the next few decades in his family, with needed refurbishment taking place in the mid-2000s.
NostalgiCar in Korschenbroich, Germany, repainted the Bugatti, salvaged the interior and overhauled the brakes.
The current seller then bought the vehicle in 2016 and rebuilt the engine, added an alternator and replaced the exhaust system.
The Roadster is finished in a sophisticated two-tone grey paint with a grey leather interior.
Despite its age, the vintage car only has 26,000 miles on the clock, as reported by Luxury Auto News.
Bringatrailer, who is hosting the sale of the Bugatti, stated: “The Type 40 debuted in 1926 and was available in multiple configurations through various coachbuilders.
