Rennwagen-Klassiker: Swiss Bugatti with Kratzern wins Oldtimer-Show

At the Oldtimer-Show in California Pebble Beach is traditionally a car classic in the light of the car classic, but in those years the main prize goes a 90 years earlier Bugatti with many Kratzern. The owner in the past years – acts of the Swiss collector Fritz Burkard – lose the only racing car unchanged. More than 200 on Hochglanz gets Car the Nachsehen.

The Bugatti Type 59 would be equipped for the racing track. But after the Saison 1935, the designer Ettore Bugatti left the Grand-Prix-Rennen zurück and the car was in the works in the other Molsheim of a Sports Car for the Road umgebaut. Rennfahrer winnowed damit trotzdem Preise. 1937 Wurde der Wagen by the Belgian King Leopold III. chewed. Bugatti paints the racing car for the blue color in black with a gelbenstreifen effect.

Before the Concours d’Elegance in Pebble Beach, the famous Oldtimer Show of the World during the Siege of the Bugatti started a Wende. The jury does not give a perfect impression of the quality of the work, which was carried out without the restoration in the original condition. So I can buy a 1932 Alfa Romeo for a year among the three nominations for the top prize.
