Bugatti Magnum by Hugh Conway and Maurice Sauzay - English edition.

The motor book event of 1989 was the publication of this magnificent 559 pages Bugatti Magnum, which is a fitting memorial to the late Hugh Conway, who completed it in conjunction with Maurice Sauzay.

Conway had contributed more than one very erudite Bugatti history before embarking on this great new work, which is entirely comprehensive and a lavish presentation wooing the reader with fantastic 800 monochrome and 73 colour illustrations, some of which are old favourites gaining from enlargement and clear reproduction, others published for the first time.

This truly is a great book. It is hardly an exaggeration to say that everything Bugatti is covered - the entire range of touring, sports and racing Bugattis, Ettore Bugatti's work with railcars, aeroplanes, aero-engines, horse-drawn vehicles and boats, along with discussion of his inventions, patents and design methods.

The family's way of life along the years at Molsheim, the correct version of how Jean Bugatti met his death testing a racing car near the factory, and the company plans for future models after the war. Conway was the expert at turning up fresh material and was dispensing such information until a few days before his death.

Each member of the Bugatti family is given a place in this splendid book, of which only 2000 English copies are printed. It comes in a slip-case of simulated engineturned aluminium with a replica Bugatti chassis-plate.

Every Bugatti model is included, there is a long bibliography, and a list of racing successes and if the cost is high, it is but a microcosm of what the cars themselves now command.

And what cars are more enthralling to depict in a volume of this size and merit than Bugattis, whether racing or otherwise?

All manner of pleasing little facts are revealed or revived, in this Bugatti Magnum - the Molsheim hunt, Ettore on his horses or celebrating after motor racing victories.

The book is a wealth of material to delight Bugatti followers the world over.

This example is in near fine condition with a blue cloth binding, the Bugatti logo stamped to front board and silver title to the spine.
