The Limousine Park-Ward was the fourth car built for the Royale series and it is also known as the Foster car. The Limousine was sold too Cuthbert W. Foster in 1933 who asked british coachbuilder Park Ward to emulate the design and style of a car he had previously owned, a 1921 Daimler.
In 1946 the car was sold the british Bugatti dealer Jack Lemon Burton and in 1956 to american Bugatti collector John Shakespeare who owned the largest collection of Bugatti cars at the time. A few years later and due to financial struggles, Shakespeare sold his entire collection in 1963 with one of the buyers being Fritz Schlumpf.
Currently the car is part of the Schlumpf Collection and like the Coupé Napoleon it can be visited at the Musée National de l'Automobile de Mulhouse.
