Intrigued by Post-war Bugattis ? What happened up to 1963 ?
John Barton ‘Bugatti – The last 20 years’ Lecture at 12.00 noon Sunday April 8th
In the 20 years between 1919 and 1939 Ettore Bugatti, later assisted by his very able son Jean Bugatti, designed, built and sold almost 8,000 cars. However during the last 20 years of the Bugatti company (1943-1963), Ettore Bugatti and then later Roland Bugatti assembled and sold 7 cars, these using pre-war parts and to a 20 year old design. How and why could this have come about?
