but they found like two or three only.Originally Posted by furious_fiero
And NOBODY has a picture of all seven of them at Concours like 10 or 20 years back?
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.

well i'm not sure i can fully agree to that, if you don't believe me you should believe what bugatti's official website says:Originally Posted by Wouter Melissen

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!

As someone mentioned before, the car wasn't destroyed, and the one being a part of the Schlumpf collection isn't a replica, but a recreation of the Esders Royale on an actual T41 chassis, built with original Bugatti parts.Originally Posted by Wouter Melissen
Here are a few pictures of the reconstructed Esders Royale.

Really good images Peter, thanks for those
Could you just upload them using the UCP attachement system please? It ensures the images are never lost. Cheers
EDIT: BTW, could a mod remove Glissons images since they're not 1024px?
Audi humbles Porsche. A new dawn starts today.
Being nice since 2007.
Done.Originally Posted by Vaigra
Although I couldn't attach more than six images to one post, which forced me to divide pictures of the Binder Royale in two posts after resizing them, since they were over 1 MB, and to post pics of the Park Ward here.
And the Park Ward Royale after it came back.
