Hi, just wanted to let all potential buyers know that this is NOT the 1968 book. It is a very nice but NEW copy of the 1968 book. I bought it, but if I would have known beforehand that it was merely a copy of the book I would not have bought it since I collect the original books. Other than that the information in the book of course is a fantastic read! When you are interested in its content, it is a fabulous book, but as a collector you’d feel down. Now I have it, I can easily tell the difference. See the logo under it’s wheel? The 1968 version does not have any logo’s under the wheel. Happy reading!

I found a secondhand (1968) mint example of this fine book. Very detailed with many Black-white photos and nice detailed drawings. I think as a collector or enthousiast of Bugatti cars you use this book only. And for someone who is offered a real Bugatti Type 35/37 there is a detailed list of all chassis numbers in the back of the book so that you can check the actual car and avoid buying a Argentine fake! And if you can also find ‘Pur Sang’ , by the hand of master H.G.Conway, you slowly step into Bugatti heaven!

The book consists of two parts: a development/race history of the Grand Prix Bugattis, and an extremely detailed technical description of the cars (you could almost build one given the description here…).
