Bugatti Type 35B

There are quite a few visitors from France to my blog and especially for them here are are photographs of two Bugatti Type 35Bs which were taken at Oulton Park at the Richard Seaman Memorial Trophies meetings of 1982 and 1987. The Type 35 with its different variations was the most successful of the Bugatti racing models and the 35B was the final version of the series which you can read about here.

This is Hamish Moffatt in his 1926 Type 35B at Lodge Corner in the Richard Seaman Memorial Vintage Trophy race in June 1982.

This is Terry Cardy's 1929 Type 35B in the paddock (above) and at Lodge Corner (below) in the Vintage Trophy race in July 1987.

Just as Ferraris are predominantly  finished in Italian racing red, so Bugattis tend to be mostly seen in French racing blue.
