The Crownprince of Iran (who became the last Shah) who married in 1939 Egypt’s Princess Fawzia, was a passionate speedaholic and car collector. The French Government presented him this special Bugatti 57C as a wedding gift.
When the mullahs took over in 1979/80 they intended to scrap this car (along with hundreds of other four-wheeled beauties the Shah collected), but instead it was sold for a low price. It was brought to the US, where it is now in private ownership.
