Here’s another Bug I have some photos of in my collection. My photo collection that is!
The car belongs to Dean Edmonds, who graciously provided a bunch of rallyists a tour of his car collection and shop on a break of the final running of the Forza Amelia a few years back. It was his favorite car in the collection. Dean is the gentleman in the center of the photo. We’re all jacketed up as after the tour we had a formal dinner sitting among the cars of another famous collection, a story for another time. This Bugatti Type 55 was immaculate, I’ll share some more photos of it later.
Here they are:
I am *always* astonished when looking at photos of Bugs, with the integrally-cast brake drum/wheels….man!
I can’t EEEEVEN imagine the costs involved, even way back then!
Check out the air “filter.”
😛
Woops..my bad! What I thought was the air filter is, in fact, a blow off valve.
Pay no mind to the guitar there…..
