| Description |
1910 Bugatti Type 15 French When Ettore Bugatti moved to Molsheim, the first production model to appear was the 8 valve Type 13. Its top speed of nearly 60mph from only 1327cc was due to the advance design of the overhead camshaft engine. First owned by Madame Bugatti, this longer wheelbase Type 15 was reputed to have seen service on the battlefields during World War I. Brought to England in 1920, it was rebuilt from a saloon into a 2-seater sports tourer. From 1939, it was entered in races, rallies and hill climbs, always with great success. This car is the second oldest Bugatti surviving and the oldest in this country. Cylinders: 4 Valves: Overhead Capacity: 1327cc Power Output: 15bhp @ 2500rpm Maximum Speed: 58mph Price New: £350 Manufacturer: Automobiles E. Bugatti, Molsheim Owner: Accepted by H.M. Government in lieu of inheritance tax Housing a collection of over 250 automobiles and motorcycles telling the story of motoring on the roads of Britain from the dawn of motoring to the present day, the award winning (Winner - The International Historic Motoring Awards of the Year 2012) National Motor Museum appeals to all age groups. From World Land Speed Record Breakers including Campbell’s famous Bluebird to film favourites such as the magical flying car, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and rare oddities like the giant orange on wheels. Don’t miss exciting extra features such as the Motorsport Gallery, Wheels and Jack Tucker's Garage - A permanent, multi award-winning 1930's garage has been created within the Museum, complete down to the last nut and bolt and rusty drainpipe. Whilst the building is a complete fabrication, everything in it - all the fixtures, fittings, tools and ephemera - are genuine artefacts collected over a period of 25 years. |
