[12 Feb 08] :: Bugatti type 46 by Klein / Saunier / Jansen |
Authors comments:
The first chapter of our book consists of a Register of all actually existing Type 46. No other Bugatti Type motivated so many European bodymakers in the thirties, to build such exclusive bodies, as this one did. About 40 different workshops created a huge number of dream bodies of which we could find many unpublished pictures. All these bodymakers are presented with examples of their works. In a society part many personalities are mentioned which owned or drove a Type 46 in those days. Finally we could compile a complete list of more than 450 ever produced cars. Our book will contain approx. 400 fully illustrated pages and will be possible to preorder via the following suscription form.

[10 Feb 08] :: The eight masterpieces of Corsica |
Johan Buchner treats the Bugattiste well: He has written another article, this time about the Bugatti's that were bodied by Corsica, the British coachbuilder.
The great way of writing makes this article as good as the first one. Enjoy!
