A truly sad end to our wonderful tour down under


Some very unfortunate news came to our ears. A very original Bugatti Type 30 has been stolen in the States, just after its return from a tour in Australia. As our website has visitors from all over the world, we hope someone knows more about this car (or maybe where the parts went). Leave your comment and we will forward it to the owner.

"Almost immediately after its arrival back in the U.S. from Australia, on the night of May 12-13th my Type 30 (known as “Adelaide”; Chassis 4503; engine 4384) was stolen in a locked and secured trailer parked in the lot of the Phill Reilly Restorations shop, 5842 paradise Drive, Corte Madera CA.

Officials from several Marin County police units and the Hagerty Insurance crime specialist are already investigating the theft, which we believe might have originated at the dock when the car was unloaded from its container on Friday. Very few other people would have been aware of its return to the States."

My sincerest condolences !! What a great loss. I am personally acquainted with this Bugatti when It was in Australia. As George says WHAT the hell do the robbers think they are going to do with it!! There have been instances here in Australia of vintage cars being stolen while they were on a trailer. In one case the robbers unloaded the car later which was found AOK. But they kept the trailer. Sure hope that this happens in this instance. jak.

Doesn't totally make sense. Stealing a Bugatti must be like stealing the Hope Diamond. To whom would you sell it? If you were going to part it out, thinking somebody would catch on before too long.
