Brand：CMC expédition Vehicle Make：Bugatti Vehicle Year：1924 Scale：1:18

Incredibly detailed Bugatti type 35. I pre-ordered this from CMC, but never displayed it, as I ran out of room in my cabinets. This deserves to be front and center of a display. I will package carefully and ship within 2 days. It comes in original box, with last four pictures showing the condition. I can remove fully for further pictures, but this is pristine.

Description of the original vehicle:

During the "Golden Twenties," the Bugatti Type 35 was the most successful race car as well as a favourite "toy" of gentlemen drivers. Daredevil drivers who could afford the expensive racing costs, proudly participated with their cars painted in national racing colours. A case in point was the Spanish drivers, whose cars were painted in yellow and red.

The Type 35, a masterpiece of Ettore Bugatti, did not fare well in the 1924 Grand Prix of France because of tire problems. During the following years, however, Bugatti was crowned with success over and over again.

Equipped with the Type 35, Bugatti had won twelve Grand Prix races by 1926 and was always the first to see the chequered flag of the Targa Florio each year between 1925 and 1929. They also dominated the “Grand Prix of Monaco” in 1929 and 1930.

Between 1924 and 1931, more than 300 Bugatti Type 35 left the "Usine Bugatti," all with an inline eight-cylinder engine that mostly had a 2-litre capacity. The last two versions 35TC and 35B had a 2.3-litre engine supercharged by a Roots compressor.

The horseshoe radiator grille and alloy cast wheels that stylised the Bugatti Type 35 became an icon of the era, whereas the bended front axle was deemed another prominent feature of the Bugatti cars.

The low total weight of 750kg and a fabulous gearbox amenable to swift shifting were the secrets of Ettore Bugatti's passport to success, and he loved celebrating each race win with his team.

Let us re-visit the glorious history made by the Bugatti Type 35 with a high-end model made by CMC. Hand-assembled from more than 900 individual parts, this precision metal model recaptures the unique talent and style of Ettore Bugatti that led him to secure a place in the history of automobiles.

The black and white pictures in the contemporary archives are unable to do justice to all the colorful race cars of the 1920s and 1930s. Actually, since rules had it that each participating team must have its car(s) donned in a nation-specific color pattern, the starting field was usually a very bright, multi-colored scene.

The color pattern for England was dark green all over, as in our M-100 B-002. Piloted by William Grover-Williams, the green Bugatti T35 with starting number 12 won the championship of the 1929 Monaco Grand Prix.

Technical data of the original vehicle:

8-cylinder in-line-engine (double block)

Overhead camshaft, 3 valves for each cylinder

Two times Zenith-horizontal carburettor

Displacement:1,991 ccm

Maximum output:approx. 95 hp ati 6.000 rpm
