Child's Play: Recreation 1927 Baby Bugatti

Posted January 28, 2008 9:17 AM

I remember those boat-shaped Bugatti cars racing a road circuit less than half a mile from where I grew up in the late 1940's.

We didn't pay to watch, just walked across the fields, and got positioned well up tall trees.

Kind Regards....

i have one of these that is a model type 35c powerd by a 12 volt battery that to put it lightly needs a hell of a lot of work but having only had it 2 weeks is completley worth evrey minute you spend freezing your ___ of in the garage and i imagine it will be when its done,

does anyone have any information on this as i have nothing because i was given it with no paperwork and the electricals are to complicated without a wiring diagram

if you know anything more about these in any way or even a bit more than the internet can offer about the real thing please contact joshuaantrobus@btconnect.com
