CMC Bugatti Type 35 Grand Prix, Nation Colour Project - USA - 1/18

Description

CMC Bugatti Type 35 Nation Colour Project - USA, 1924 Limited edition of 500 units

For Ettore Bugatti, building cars was a question of perfection or, to put it another way, an art form with which it was necessary to “design in beauty”. The Type 35 marked the beginning of a period of around seven years in which the Bugatti brand dominated motorsport. With our „Nation Colour Project“, we want to bring the colourful racing car scene of the twenties and thirties into your living room. According to the Grand Prix regulations, national colours were prescribed for each country for the racing cars eligible to compete. The model presented here represents the country-specific racing car livery of the USA.
