A restoration starts with an original car and rebuilds it to ‘as new’ or even better, but a recreation starts with nothing and builds what is really a copy of an original car. One of the favorites for this is the Bugatti Type 35.

Here are some details of the Pur Sang ‘Bugatti Type 35. Leonidas Jorge Anadón operates a tiny company known as Pur Sang (Pure Blood, the Bugatti nickname) situated in Villa Lola, a cottage complex in Entre Rios. Argentina has long been regarded as a font of great enthusiasm for the golden era of motor racing, as well as an impressive resource of artisanship. Pur Sang has been building high-quality, impressively faithful Bugatti T35 replicas for nearly 20 years. The company is also a leading fabricator of replacement parts for owners of original Bugattis, even replicating many proprietary tools.

Pur Sang’s Type 35 recreation is visually and dimensionally identical to the original cars, handcrafted and precision-built with over 3000 components manufactured from scratch. Fabrication usually takes up to six months.
