Description The Bugatti Type 35 was a gem of French engineering which went on to be one of the most successful racing cars in history.

In 1926 the Type 35 won the Grand Prix Championship having taken 351 races in the previous two years, and it amassed over 1,000 race wins in total.

WW2 ended this era of Grand Prix cars, and although they did return post-war, rapid advance in design changed them forever.

This example Type 35C with the 3 litre supercharged engine driven by Elizabeth Junek in the 1929 Targa Florio.

Real ones were nearly all pale blue (France's racing team) but, a fantasy purple one is possible...

I know about the French racing team. Bugatti's cars were as much works of art as they were mechanical creations and as a child I dream of having one. I have both a matchbox and a hotwheels Bugatti.
