And NOBODY has a picture of all seven of them at Concours like 10 or 20 years back?
but they found like two or three only.Originally Posted by furious_fiero
6 were built, not 4 or 7, this one (roadster) was built for armand esders. it was the most luxurious car in the world - 12.7 litre engine and nearly 300 BHP. imagine it was 6.5 metres long!Originally Posted by ScionDriver
unfortunately, those cars were one of the reasons of bancrupcy of the manufacturer, the cost of building them was very big and nearly noone wanted to buy them. so after the bancrupcy the models that weren't sold as a car, were sold in parts and now you can find some of the parts in old trains and other machines.
12 cylinders or walk!
Also note the absence of headlights; the owner never drove at night. Sadly this car got destroyed, so only five original cars survive today. There is a replica of this car in the Schlumpf museum in Mulhouse, France.Originally Posted by dydzi
These cars were built in the late 1920s, and were not the reason for the company's bankruptcy after the War. With the Type 57 Bugatti had one of their best periods in the 1930s.
If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

41111 wasn't destroyed... It received a new coachwork by Binder, between 1934-1938Originally Posted by Wouter Melissen
Good constructive commentary guys. You've done your research! Got loads of T41 pics
Incidentally, the chap in the picture posted by Matt is Jean Bugatti, who designed most of the early cars coachwork. He was killed in an accident testing one of the speedsters.
Wouters cannibal quote applies once more!

@Glisson, may I remind you that this is the High-Res hideout, and that your pictures do not match the 1024* criteria.
No hard feelings intended
Cool, where do I post low res? Unfortunately a lot of the historic Bug pics are original obviously low res but also very interesting.

Anywhere else in the forums is fine, preferrably Multimedia or Euro or Classic.Originally Posted by Glisson
