A little history... the "legendary" Bugatti
Type 35 racing models were designed by Ettore
and Jean Bugatti between 1924 and 1931. These cars immediately began dominating
the racing industry, with over 2,000
racing victories (a record unmatched to this day)!
Designed in the Bugatti workshops in the town of
Molsheim in Alsace-Dorlisheim region of France,
they were equipped with some of the original V8 engine prototypes, and
many variations and changes were made with each new
model (Type 35A, B, C & D! Then the Type 37, 39, 51, etc...).
One of the crowning
achievements for the Type 35 came during
the Grand Prix of Lyon in 1924, which was the first
time that Bugatti was permitted to enter this race
against cars from Italian manufacturers like Alfa Romeo and Maserati and German manufacturers
like Mercedes and Auto Union.
The incredible history of this car
is what has made it popular with all sorts of collectors. This
particular yellow version is a representation of the rich colors of the racing cars of the
past (a fact which is often overlooked, as the
old black and white photos were unable to capture
their vivid colors). In the end, the beauty of
this model’s paint scheme, as well as its elegant design, is sure to make it
stand out in any collection.
