Rare Bugatti heads to Monaco
A rare Bugatti EB112 sedan is slated for the Monaco auction on April 25, 2026 — only three running V12 four‑door fastbacks were ever completed. The house expects bids of €1.5–€2M (~$1.7–$2.3M), well below the $4.6M Tourbillon but still a serious collector grail. (thedrive.com)
RM Sotheby’s catalog lists this car as chassis/VIN ZA9CC030ERCD39003 and marks it as Lot 151 in its Monaco sale at the Grimaldi Forum. (rmsothebys.com) The odometer read 388 kilometres at cataloguing, a figure RM Sotheby’s includes in the lot description. (rmsothebys.com) RM Sotheby’s traces the car’s completion to Monegasque businessman Gildo Pallanca Pastor and records that he retained it until 2015; the catalog states the consignor is the vehicle’s second owner from new. (rmsothebys.com) The listing details an EB110‑derived carbon‑fibre chassis, a front‑mounted 6.0‑litre naturally aspirated V‑12, a six‑speed manual gearbox and all‑wheel drive as the car’s mechanical specification. (rmsothebys.com) RM Sotheby’s adds an auction addendum that the motor car “has either been driven for no more than 6,000 kilometres or is less than 6 months of age from new,” text included in the lot paperwork. (rmsothebys.com) Octane reports the example benefitted from €37,000 of maintenance work in 2021 and has previously been displayed in the Schlumpf Collection. (octane-magazine.com)
