Description

CMC Bugatti Type 35 Nation Colour Project - Spain, 1924 Limited edition of 2,000 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.
