Bugatti Le Pur Sang Des Automobiles Fourth Edition

Bugatti Le pur-sang des automobiles is the authoritative and standard work on Ettore Bugatti and the exquisite road and racing cars he created. Now produced in its fifth edition, again updated with photographs, it describes each Type produced, and gives a wealth of technical and specification information, together with contemporary material, such as press reports, road tests and correspondence between key figures in Bugatti History, and informed comments by Hugh Conway.
