Bugatti Type 59

A new acquisition from LMM. Truly excellent modelling.

Whoever's heard of a black Type 59? King Leopold of Belgium and Ralph Lauren to mention but two. And then there was Ralph Millais whose car was dark blue with red and white go-faster stripes. Most extraordinary behaviour.

Type 35s.

The twin-cam Type 51 is distinguishable from the Type 35 by the twin filler caps on the tail.

The T59 depicted in a poster for the 1932 Klausen Pass mountainclimb.

A whole garage full of Bugatti junk belonging to an erstwhile acquaintance, who once took a herd of elephants over the alps to prove that Hannibal was right. Wolf Zeuner was well known in VSCC/Bugatti circles, but far from pleasant.
