for the technical it was called Brescia, after the Italian track where the model took the top four places at a race in 1921, the lightweight 1.5 litre, four-cylinder tourer was capable of speeds of up to 100mph, for a few pictures of early Bugatti's look here, it retains traces of the original blue paint and is expected to fetch up to £85,000, I wonder if the seller will have to pay the outstanding import tax plus 73 years interest?
