Are there any types missing or under-represented in the screen saver?
Many thanks for your input on the smaller scales. I contemplated this at lenght while visiting the various model sites but one needs to be careful not to make the displays look like a toy shop. The layout of my display is almost a very large diorama so mixed sizes would create a problem.

The only Types which are obviously slightly under represented are the pre EB
official Bugatti cars as there are limited pics on these purely because of the turn of the century era. All the true Bugattis are very well represented with a minimum of around 26 pics for pre T35 except for the T52 childrens electric car which I could only find 3 off. For example the T57 range has over 340 pics

The saver has also been catagorised into Bugatti car paintings, postage stamps, adverts and catalogues. The Veyron section breaks the vehicle down through various production stages and supplier photos.

Its very pleasing to see the response from a senior member like yourself.
Much appreciated.
