Hagerty Marketplace, Morgatti
“One-Off 1948 Morgatti Aerline Coupe Project”, Hagerty Marketplace auction listing, ended 13 February 2026. Checked 17 October 2026.
The seller’s own listing. It calls the story “partly documented and partly speculative” and says “we may never know the truth”; the Buenos Aires owner and the Bugatti body are the seller’s account, not something I could confirm elsewhere.
