Description

Bugatti Type 55 Super Sport - 1932 - 1935

The Super Sport roadster especially, was a lovely design. Perfectly proportioned and with just enough curvature, it was tastful elegance at its best. With its speed and style, the Type 55 fit perfectly with Bugatti's history as an independent carmaker. It was as enjoyable to drive as it was to look at.

Only 38, Type 55 chassis were produced. Close to half of these were fitted with roadster or coupe coachwork by Ettore's son, Jean Bugatti. These bodies reinforced the Type 55's image as a sport car, and established the car as one of the best sculpted vehicles ever produced.

What a wonderfull subject, one of my all time favourite cars and where else would a Bugatti feel more at home but Paris!
