Or was that an option. If so, would anybody have photo's of an 8 cylinder without the compressor?

Bugattis were not all supercharged. The first supercharged engines are the type 35 engines. Bugatti finally reluctantly made a supercharger for that. His opinion was that his cars didn't need them.

I will see if I can dig out a non-supercharged engine.

However, all type 50 engines were supercharged.

This is a type 57, not supercharged:

Is this a 50T engine? 51? 54?

This is a special T50S engine, for sale by Ray Jones. It has a specially made (by the Bugatti factory) manifold with 4 carburettors. This experimental layout was not seen on any other Bugatti.

This is the advertisement text from my site:

Bendix direct-drive starter mounted on front of engine under the radiator
T59 Late gearbox with T73C gear selector lever.

Marchal headlamps and twin Scintilla tail lamps
More than meets 3 out of five.
