This is a book about vintage cars— about the most celebrated and sought after vintage and racing car that has ever existed—the Bugatti.

Ettore Bugatti (1881-1947), the son of an artist, was himself a mechanical artist, perhaps the last of the engineer-artists in a world of advancing technology with little room for the engineer or manufacturer with more eye for line and form than scientific knowledge.

Bugatti produced his first car design at the age of 18 in 1899 and sold a licence of his second design before he was 21. He sold several other licences before he set up his own factory at Molsheim in Alsace in 1910. From then until his death in 1947 he produced a fantastic, prolific output of racing, sports and grand touring cars, as well as aeroengines, rail cars and boats of most original design.

Mr Conway describes fully each type of car. records its successes and exploits, and attaches contemporary descriptions, accounts and road tests with detail never before collected together, with an authority gained from several years research in Britain, France and elsewhere. The book includes a study of the man himself as an engineer, designer and inventor. A unique collection of photographs, many never before published, makes this the most complete book on one make of vintage car ever to be published.

Bugatti's cars are today collected, restored and driven with affection and pleasure by many vintage car enthusiasts all over the world. This book will appeal to them and to all lovers of vintage and veteran cars; indeed, to anyone who has ever enjoyed driving or being driven in a sports car, no matter of what make.
