Bugatti automobiles
As stated above, Chantal Prick had arranged a Bugatti stand, with a three Bugatti's, a children's car, and many photographs, posters and other items, see the photographs below.
Nice Brescia, chassis 2386, currently for sale in Belgium.
Very nice Type 44 with a beautiful new bodied, designed by Chantal's nephew. Views of photographs and posters in the background.
Also on the stand: Nice black Type 57 Ventoux. On the right a children's Bugatti. Not a replica of the Baby Bugatti.
Chantal also hosted various others on het stand, like the artist of these (I suppose they are) watercolors.
Furthermore AMF modelcars who showed a 1:12 scale miniature of Jean Prick's green Ventoux, and (not shown) Tamas Valko who was selling his book on the Bugatti Baby.
CC-Cars was selling this Type 59, with an interesting colour scheme. The car was built by "the Guild of Automotive Restorers" in Canada (David Grainger), using original parts that came from Ray Jones. It was later re-built by Tula Precision (Charles Knill-Jones).
Jaap Braam Ruben (Fine Automobiles) showed this Type 57 with "Grand Raid" specifications and a factory made Faux Cabriolet (Atalante) body. It was (quite rightfully so, I maight say) elected best pre-war car of the show!
Quite nice replica of a Baby Bugatti.....
.... and probably the worst children's car with some reference to Bugatti I have ever seen. The 2750 price tag for this "Homemade Bugatti" seems ridiculous.
