At least it runs and isn't just collecting dust. Brakes were an afterthought in those days, as can be seen!

Tim, your content is incredible - you obviously have immense, third generation expertise to be able to keep these machines running. Everything you say is so interesting, but you are let down a little by the sound reproduction. It doesn't matter. Neither does it matter than much of the technical details you give can only be understood be engineers. I think I heard the term "longitudinal balls" at some point. I expect all the drivers of Bugattis had those. Even the ones that weren't men. Thanks for such an illuminating presentation. Why so few KZread hits, I wonder? Tom. From France.

This was fascinating. Thanks for sharing. Ettore was a genius. Its not fair to compare him to Henry Ford and his quadri cycle. But i can't help how advanced Bugatti was. I can also see how Gordon Murray developed his design philosophy.

A great video - thank you. As you rightly point out, WG-W was (is) a hero dissevering of significantly more recognition from his own country. I hadn't heard of WG-W until a couple of years ago when I read Early One Morning (a must read!). I'm so glad I have heard of WG-W now. Certainly a man of mystery to the end: was he actually executed by the Nazis...

You've triggered some memories. I helped Hugh Conway translate some of the drawings in a factory in Slough, "Lawrences" some time around 1980. Lawrence, who had his own Bugatti, (which he'd bent on the ferry at Plymouth) was attempting to cast the twin over head cam engine blocks and most were failing, the valve seat cutters or boring tools would break through and there was pile of failures. We had a sectioned Bugatti block and one of the modern ones trying to work out where it was all going wrong. The quality of the Bugatti casting was astonishing, the end wall was a perfectly straight and uniform 3mm yet the contraction on the casting was closer to 5 mm and non-uniform. We never knew; did Bugatti calculate this or had they perfected it through trial and error? More than once people would arrive in their Bugatti having driven to Slough Trading Estate to discuss parts and get measurements. When I knew Lawrence he was in his 80's (probably, he was coy about his age) and the car was still under the tarpaulins he put on it in the 1950's after the ferry incident, he never did get it fixed.

I find it quite ironic that the words Pur Sange are shown more than once in this film. Had the Argentinian maker of the Pur Sange reproductions seen this film before naming his company???

I was lucky enough to work for barry price for about six months. He got me interested in bugatti. I think he did a lot for concept design. Some off the new electric cars look very futuristic .especially the new Mercedes vision. Some young designers watched the new avatar film and used that as ther concept idea .and the winner went on to work for Mercedes.

Why is there an extra spark plug in the exhaust on Niniette? Over the years i have only seen three Bugatti up close ,two Belonging to an old mate in New Zealand, almost 50 years ago and one,a type 35 belonging to a young guy who was helping me at a workshop about 7 years ago. His was peices of an original car mixed with Argentine parts and an Anzani four cylinder engine.

Even though my interests have always been agricultural, your cars and even the Niniette, reflect an era when mechanical rather than fly by wire was the norm, yet achieved so much and share a crossover with the machines I have built over the years.
