Thank you so much for the 3 replies, My laptop crashed and I lost all data and despite trying to find this page I failed. I got in touch with the Bugatti Owners Club only the other day and info is forthcoming from their archivist. .... and now I have found this page again. I will contact Leon and John by email and Warwick122 my email is [email protected], would be glad to hear from you. Many thanks to you all. Richard is delighted with the response |
More about Leon Bachelier |
Warwick122 05-16-2016 |
Leon was the son of George Gordon Bachelier from his first of three wives, and the grandson of Leon George Bachelier, a chauffeur (to Sir Norman Forbes-Robinson, the actor, amongst others) who occasionally called himself George Baxter, and George and his brother Leslie, ran a garage in Putney Hill and used to race Bugattis on the side. Leon George's father was Leon Bachelier who was born in Paris in 1844 and was a chef or chief cook, family legend placing this at the Langham Hotel in London, but I cannot go further back than that. Leon George married my great aunt Daisy Laura Warwick, so Leon Donald is my first cousin, once removed. |

Does anyone know more about this model. I believe that it was built for a Lord Bachelier, or at least in his name. You will see my interest! My ex-husband Richard was the son of George Gordon Bachelier and nephew of Leslie Bachelier.He knows that his father raced Bugattis and that his grand-father Leon Georges Bachelier moved to England to race here. Nothing further is known about Leon, does anyone have any information about him and is there a family connection with Lord Bachelier? Richard never knew about the Bachelier Roadster and in curious to find out more. Thank you |
