Ettore Bugatti was one of the most remarkable car manufacturers
in the history of the automobile. His name will always be synonymous with vehicles such as the brilliant
1924 Type 35 racing car, whose every component was exquisitely formed.
Particularly associated with the Bugatti Type 51 in 1931 was Louis Chiron
who won the Monaco Grand Prix that year in this car, with two other Type 51s in third and fourth positions.
