The Williams Trophy Race for Pre 1935 2-Seater Racing cars was run alongside the Seaman Trophy for Vintage Racing Cars at the Vintage Sports Car Club's meeting at Donington Park in May 2001 and this is one of the cars that competed in that race.
It's the 1925 Bugatti Type 13 of David Marsh which has a 16-valve 4-cylinder inline 1,496cc engine. Five examples of the Type 13 were produced before the First World War and when the war was over Ettore Bugatti prepared the cars for racing. The cars took the first four places in the 1921 Brescia Grand Prix and the Type 13 subsequently became known as the Brescia Bugatti. There was a great demand for the car and its derivations and 2000 were built before production ended in about 1926.
