    I know they were made, but that is pretty much it. Anyone with any information on them?

    They were a vague model of the classic type 35, expanded a little for leg room. They had an electric motor but were not what you would today call "museum quality" models.

    I believe that they did actually have a Bugatti "type" number; somewhere in to 40s perhaps? (excuse me, Web references say Type 52) I saw one reportedly go in an english auction for around 10K pounds.

    A much prettier (but not authentic) electric childs model like this was made quite a few years back and reported on by R & T, I think in one of their April Fools car tests.

    Here is a link to a current reproduction (actually an over-reproduction, very pretty workmanship) -
