97 years ago Bugatti was turning out supercharged sports cars… what? I just thought this was a car company that started in the 70s… The more you know.

    I saw this car in the flesh 2 days ago in Hampton Court. It was up for auction for an expected 3 to 4 million pounds with a bunch of other classic cars

        Exactly like the photos in the article. It’s how I recognised it. This is the only photo I took unfortunately

            Thanks. I just remembered, I noticed that the spare wheel was cast in one piece of aluminium with the brake drum. There was a steel liner in the drum. If you get a flat tyre you change the brakes as well which I haven’t seen before.
