Hi guys,

I finally updated my website www.arthomobiles.fr with my report of the centenary in Molsheim.

It is in French but you may enjoy a lot of HD pics anyway. For french readers, I wrote it just after coming back from the event so I may seem a bit bitter in my comments (which I tried to soften a bit after) but overall, I've not been much satisfied of my day (as a lambda spectactor)

Enjoy

Excellent article,It is a pity that you did not get in to the Chateau St Jean.You should have made arrangements to do so....As a driver on the "Parade" I must say that I have never seen such a shambles.But then again the French are a little behind in their ways concerning old cars.I remember the Dieppe Retro that I did a few years ago,we were held to what seemed like 30 MPH through the country,and down to 5 KPH through the towns with everyone sounding their horns and waving.They still regard old cars as circus turns.BOC rallies would come as quite a surprise to some people over here ! Incidently the T252 at the Chateau St Jean is mine.It is a replica,using the first prototype T252 motor.I have a second,with the sole T253 motor.My T251 project is well enough known as well.Of the seven Bugattis in my garage as I speak,only one is of a prewar type,a T37 which I am doing for my daughter.

Thanks and Thank you Lazarus for your explanations. I'm basically a fan of Ferrari, that's why I did not looked for good plans. Moreover, I was not aware of the double celebrations Molsheim vs Bugatti SAS.
I am disappointed for all the Veyrons I missed. It was a close call and I don't think there will ever be such a concentration anymore.

As for the old Bugatti, you have to be a true fanatic to be able to track authentics, replicas, and others reconstructions. I have work enough with Ferrari about that :D

Ferrari was a builder of "kit cars" until Colombo arrived with his V12 engine,so you would like my T252 Colombo designed engine! Just like a little Ferrari four cylinder motor.

Six postwar Bugattis!!! I already knew Lazarus´s T73C, T251, T252 and T253. Which are the other two types (if this piece of information can be disclosed)? T68? T73A? T101? A T72 moped engine? More difficult: a T102? Nearly impossible: a T78? Simply impossible: a recreation of the T451? A project for building the T125?

Bugatti news Facebook :

101 Jean Bugatti's Birthday
Organisateur : BUGATTI News
Type : Autre - Cérémonie
Réseau : Mondial
Date : vendredi 15 janvier 2010
Heure : 00:05 - 23:55
Lieu : Molsheim (France)

Description

THE THIRD OF ETTORE BUGATTI’S FOUR CHILDREN, GIANOBERTO MARIA CARLO BUGATTI (OR “JEAN”, AS EVERYONE CALLED HIM) WAS BORN ON 15 JANUARY 1909.

From Jean’s birthplace Cologne, where his father worked at the Deutz gas-engine plant, the Bugatti family moved first to Milan, then Paris, and finally to Molsheim in Alsace, then a German province and home of the Bugatti car manufacturing plant founded by father Ettore.

Jean spent the major part of his youth, witnessing the first racetrack successes of Bugatti cars. In the late 1920s, he demonstrated his talent with first designs for touring and sports cars. At only 23 years of age, he designed the legendary Roadster Royale two-seat chassis for the textile magnate Armand Esders. Despite its length of six meters, this car was the embodiment of pure elegance. The Bugatti models T50, T55, and T57 also bear Jean Bugatti’s unique signature. He designed not only exceptional chassis, but also singularly powerful engines. Though his father forbade him to enter races, he volunteered as test driver whenever the opportunity presented itself. From 1931 onwards, Jean gradually assumed responsibility for his father’s business. 1936, following a national strike, he took over the management of the automobile production. Later, he also became director of the Meo Constantini company racing team. Ettore Bugatti had shifted the focus of his company towards the production of motorized railcars (Autorails), a move that saved the Bugatti company during the Depression. Shortly before the outbreak of World War II, on August 11, 1939, Jean Bugatti crashed the Typ 57 C Tank he was test-driving – the same car that had just recently won the 24-hour race at Le Mans. At more than 200 km/h, he had to swerve to avoid hitting a bicyclist coming out of a country lane. He lost control of the car, hit a tree, and died on the spot. At the time of his tragic death, Jean Bugatti was only 30 years old.
