Bugatti - The 8-cylinder Touring Cars 1920-34 is a detailed study
of the medium sized touring cars in the extensive range built by
Bugatti during the fifteen years following World War I. Aspects of
design and development are considered together with pictures of
components and chassis commencing with the Type 28 and culminating
with the Type 49. These cars represented the bulk of production and
typify the Bugatti style and design, which was the basis of the
company's unique standing in the field of automobile
engineering.Over 150 different cars are depicted via 200
principally contemporary photographs, many of which have not been
published before. The works of many different coachbuilders,
throughout Europe, built upon these chassis are illustrated
together with tables showing their market position compared with
other makes and models, which were competitors.A study of the
performance of these cars in competition is included together with
a survey of the fall and rise in values over eight decades. The
book represents an important addition to the series already
produced by Veloce covering models Type 40, Types 46/50 and Types
57/57S. The royalties pass to the Bugatti Trust, a foundation
dedicated to the study of the works of Ettore Bugatti and the
furtherance of aesthetics in engineering design.

The 4-cylinder Bugatti Type 40, sometimes unkindly referred to as
`Ettore's Morris Cowley,' nevertheless shared its fine engineering
pedigree with all other Bugattis. Packed with mainly period
photographs, illustrations and sales literature, the book also
features the factory's individual chassis sales records.
