Chassis 55204 was the first of five chassis of this new 2.3-litre Bugatti model ordered and paid for by Dominique Lamberjack between March and November 1932. The order appears to have been dated 8 February 1932. The chassis was loaded and transported by train from the factory on 3 March 1932 with a Type 49 faux-cabriolet destined for the showroom. 55204 was billed to  » Lamberjack fils – Paris  » for 72 000 francs. The four other chassis of the same model destined for Lamberjack were all the same price. Photos of these four cars exists, all bodied by Vanvooren. As arranged with Robert de Prandières, the dynamic director of the coachbuilding firm Vanvooren in Courbevoie., 55204 was sent to the Vanvooren workshop in Courbevoie to be given a very pretty two-seater cabriolet body.
