	CBS 5 - San Francisco Bay Area's source for news, weather, traffic and sports: ConsumerWatch
		The Bugatti Type 13 was very sophisticated for the day - its engine was an overhead cam design, for instance - and it provided Bugatti with the first in what would become its legendary success in racing.
		For example, the Type 35 was fitted with a gem-like 2-liter, 8-cylinder engine with a single overhead camshaft operating twin intake valves and one exhaust valve per cylinder.
		In addition to the signature Bugatti radiator, the Type 51 used the tapered rear body and thick-spoke wheels over huge finned drum brakes that gave the vehicle its classic racecar countenance.

	Bugatti - Wikicars
		Bugatti is one of the most celebrated marques of automobile and one of the most exclusive French car producers of all time.
		Bugatti's disdain for his customers is as legendary as his devotion to his creations; in one apocryphal incident, upon greeting an unhappy customer returning to the factory with "What, you again?", he replied to the subsequent tale of automotive mechanical woe with "Well, see that it does not happen again!" and strode away.
		In 1999 the Bugatti EB 218 concept was introduced at the Geneva Auto Show; later that year the Bugatti 18/3 Chiron was introduced at the IAA in Frankfurt.

	History of the Bugatti Typ 57
		For the first time, the Bugatti Type 57 was presented at the Paris automobile-exhibition in 1933.
		With this new car type the factory wanted to end the variety of types and shorten its range - a decision which was absolutely necessary for surviving the consequences of the economy crisis.
		The time the Type 43 with its single-camshaft-drive has been successful was over and followed by the Type 55 equipped with the succesful two-camshaft motor of the Type 51.

		Scott Ebert became the third owner of the Bugatti, and it traveled the world with him as he climbed the ranks to become a Rear Admiral.
		Once out on the track, the Bugatti seemed more like a railroad train, tracking through the corners as if on rails, accompanied by the sound of protesting rubber, the smell of hot oil, and the sound of a straight-eight in full flight.
		All a very long time ago; the Bugatti Type 35 is now 80 years old, but sold by Ebert a few years ago to collector Bill Binnie; Ebert now races a Dreyer Ford at Lime Rock.

		While collecting cars is certainly more labor-intensive and occasionally more frustrating than collecting paintings or furniture (when was the last time you were tempted to take a Monet out for a spin but were afraid to dent the chassis?), it can be just as rewarding and often less expensive.
		While top lots in the Christie's Paris sale are expected to fetch as much as $1 million--for a 1932 Bugatti Type 51--some of the best cars, particularly classic or prewar editions, can often be had for a fraction of what a Chippendale cabinet or Ming vase would go for.
		"Especially if you are interested in classics from the 1930s--all of which are in stunning condition." In addition to the Type 51, other stars of the auction are early Cadillacs and Rolls-Royces, many of which are from the famous collection of Swiss connoisseur Hans Lüscher.
