Old Bugatti photos.

Yes just a short distance away from my home. The NEC in Birmingham with some other amazing cars there too. Unfortunately a very busy show and difficult to take good photographs.

Is the car the Type 51A Steinweg Monoplace?

 

Thank you. It was a great exhibit. Not only the cars but the art of the Bugatti family. What a talented and artistic family they were. Can anyone confirm whether the cars in the pics are authentic? And, which models they are? (I can't find my pictures of the plaques that went with the cars). Thank you...T

 

1) type 51 #38239 replica
2) type 57S #57482
3) type 57 #57159 with replica body

 

no type 13 ..... but Prince Henry 1910 (64 Robert Dunlop)

 

it is the type 35/51 of Steinweg ..... I still have to look for the rest

 

1) type 57 #57801
2) type 57S #57374
3) type 57C #57768

 

where did you get that information?

 

Tom.

Beautiful cars in your pictures.

Your post here has raised a question that I had about this thread. The title "Old Bugatti photos" could mean photographs of old Bugattis (whenever these photos were taken) or it could mean photographs taken a long time ago of Bugattis. The placement of the adjective makes a big difference! A thread that I contribute to in the UK section is entitled "Old photos of UK Ferraris" which is much clearer and the first post even goes on to set a time scale of pre-1990. This Bugatti thread does not have that and I think that it does not matter. Christian, who started the thread, has posted some fairly recent pictures and even some of scale models so I have taken this thread to be about old Bugattis, irrespective of when the photographs were taken. If I am wrong to assume this then please, someone, let me know. The EB110, Veyron, Chiron and Divo all have their own threads and, to me, this one is all about the cars from the original Bugatti.

The race number is 208 which excludes some of the events I know this car competed in. I would guess from the low tail that the pictures are from 1946 or later?

 

my research results 1947:
208 Fritz Gerster (Bugatti 35/51)
209 Leonhard Joa (Maserati 4CM)

 

The Steinweg monoplace in Mulhouse in 2006:

I found this in a magazine from 1987.

Yes it is this car. The place is the workshop of Fritz Gerster in Säckingen before the Eggbergrennen 1947. My father worked there as an apprentice. Here are three more pictures of this event with Fritz Gerster and the Bugatti.

What is the history of the "Steinweg" Bugatti?

 

I cannot send you a link at the moment but if you search online for “Bugatti revue Steinweg” there is a great article.
