 | | In the highest class came the Bugatti Royale, a car for rajahs and emperors (though the last Habsburg emperor went into exile in a Gräf und Stift, the Austrian Rolls, the same model in which the Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated at Sarajevo). |
 | | But the Bugatti that made the name of Hélène Delangle, by then calling herself Hellé Nice, was the sports model, a lean, rakish and most elegant racer which made a noise often compared to that of tearing calico, or a mainsail splitting in a gale. |
 | | She was summoned to the Bugatti estate at Molsheim, 'which all French Bugatti drivers looked on as their Camelot', but significantly was not invited to stay under the family roof or even to dine there, being put up in the firm's hostellerie, 'Le Pur Sang' (the Bugatti slogan). |
