Surbaisse was a St. Petersburg, Florida–based specialty replica project operated by David B. Miltner that offered a “dimensionally correct” Bugatti Type 57S open two-seater reproduction (marketed as the Surbaisse Bugatti Roadster) for either self-build or completed, built-to-order delivery. The company presented its car as a 1937 Type 57S OTS (roadster) inspired by original Bugatti chassis no. 57385, with revised rear coachwork featuring a luggage door behind the cockpit and a covered, recessed spare, and it described construction as a tubular welded-steel frame with steel footwells and a fiberglass body formed from 28 hand-laid panels (including multi-piece hood, separate fenders, suicide doors, hardtop, luggage door, skirts, and spare cover). Published mechanical specifications centered on Jaguar XK inline-six power (3.4/3.8/4.2 liters with twin SU carburetors) paired with a GM TH700R4/4L60 automatic via an adapter, plus independent front and rear suspension with tubular chromoly A-arms and rack-and-pinion power steering. Surbaisse credited French Bugatti recreator Erik Koux for supplying key reproduction parts used on its prototype and noted assistance from Roger Williams, framing the project as a continuation-style recreation effort.
