Description

1931 Bugatti 51

Excellent period racing history at the most significant Grand Prix with victories at Geneva and Rheims in 1931. Maurice Trintignant's first racing car, driven to GP des Frontières (Chimay) victories in 1938 and '39. Owned and cherished by the Le Mans 24 Hours and double Monaco GP winner from 1938-1974. Powered by a 2.3-litre twin overhead cam straight-eight engine, Ettore Bugatti's fast and robust T51 was the epitome of 1930s' artisan engineering. An heroic French blue Grand Prix car of impeccable provenance. Part of a very significant French collection. Offered in fine condition with spares.
