Hi !
This is the most beautiful vintage car i`ve ever seen ( and pictured ): A Bugatti Royale Type 41 Cabriolet from 1931. It is one of 123 Bugattis displayed at the French National Automobile Museum. Mr.Bugatti himself mentioned about this car: “It is a sculpture in movement” and don’t need to have headlights, because this sort of car don’t drive at night. The “Royale” was powered by a 12,7 Litre 300 HP engine. Bugatti planned 25 Royal models, but only 6 had been built. The king of Albania, who had the money to afford such a car, had been removed from the buyers-list after having dinner with Mr. Bugatti. He said, he displeased his table manners. The rest of the engines had been installed in railcars ( last picture: displayed at another French museum ).
