Description
2011 Bugatti Type 52 by Authentic Models Hand-built and numbered Authentic Models reproduction of the Bugatti Type 52. Electrically powered and faithfully executed, just like the original. A uniquely documented history - from a shop window in Edinburgh to Veteran Tidende. A Bugatti is not normally associated with a fashion budget, but the Type 52 is in a different price range. The model was created by Bugatti founder Ettore Bugat ti as an electrically powered miniature car for his son Roland. The car was developed based on the Type 35 Grand Prix races and was named Type 52. The original plan was to build a single example, but the car attached so much interest from customers that Bugatti put it into production. Only around 500 original examples were built, and today they are among the most spent-after pieces of automobile and historic pedal cars. A handful of specialist manufacturers have since taken on the task of creating the Type 52 with the level of detail and quality expected of the Bugatti name. Among them was Dutch company Authentic Models, which produced this specifically well-executed reproduction to the same dimensions as the original. This example is No. 108 of a limited production run, and its history is almost as interesting as the car itself. In the sum of 2011, its current owner was on his way to go hiking in the Scottish Highlands when he spotted a blue Baby Bugatti at Old Town Context in Edinburgh. After a week in the Highlands, he returned - so early that the shop had not yet opened. A knock on the window and a conversation market the beginning of the purchase. The car in Edinburgh was not actually for sale. However, it turned out that "Autontic Models" in the Netherlands had a brand-new example in stock: No. 108. Shortly afterwards, it was late to Denmark, where it was converted to electric power with the ambition of coming as close as possible to the original, which was likewise electrically powered. The research led, among other things, to contact with the Bugatti specialists at Pur Sang in Argentina, and the entire story of the discovery, Purchase and work carried out on the car was later documented in No. 108 is finished in classic Bugatti blue with a Horseshoe-shaped radiator grille, Bugat ti emblem, leather strips, instruments, four-spoke steeling wheel and the characteristic polished wheels. The car is accompaniated by an authentic Models... certificate, the original 2011 packing list and the illustrated article from the Official Journal of the European Union. This is not an original Type 52 from the 1920s, which would command a very different evaluation, but rather a nice, numbered and collectible reproduction. Small in size. Big in history. And unmistakably Bugatti. Model: Bugatti Type 52 by Authentic Models Year: 2011 Engine: Electric. Gears: One forward gear and one reverse gear. Odometer reading: No odometer.
