I was at the Pebble Beach Concourse many years ago. On display in front of the Pebble Beach lodge were all of the Royale's. They came from all around the world. It was a display of automotive beauty that could never be matched.

That would have been 1986. Four Royales were then owned by US collections; the other two were airfreighted in from the Musee National de l'Automobile in Mulhouse, France... After VW AG took over the Bugatti marque following the collapse of Romano Artioli's revival effort in Italy, they commissioned two nostalgic projects, the restoration of the Bugatti villa at Molsheim and a replica of the Royale roadster bodied to a Jean Bugatti design for French clothier Armand Esders, so today there are seven Royales, not six. (That's a survival rate ABOVE 100 percent!) The Esders roadster is seen in the video in a B&W photo; in the pic the apparently diminutive gent beside the car is the quite average height Jean Bugatti, showing what a vast car the T41 was...BTW the listing of individual cars in the video is severely scrambled.

Although the cars weren't an economic success, the huge engines were bought by the French national railways and were used to power trains.

Briggs Cunningham owned one here in California. He would bring it out on weekends and give rides to museum members. I used to watch in amazement.

All the Royales still exist except for the first one that got written off but I think parts of it may have been reused, not sure. Most are in a museum in France. Nice to finally see some good outdoor pictures of these.

I remember back in the 80's, the Franklin mint advertised a 1 18th scale model of the black and blue Bugatti Royale. Very cool that they all survived. I heard a story in a car magazine that one was stored underground in the french sewer to keep it from the invading Nazi's during WW2. Thanks.

Cité de l'Automobile (Mulhouse) has three of them, including a replica of the Roadster Armand Esders which was assembled from a pre-produced chassis, a Bugatti engine of an SNCF railcar and a reconstructed body. They have so many Bugattis, when I visited it first as a child I was under the impression that Bugatti cars must once have been very common. Only later I learned that they have always been exclusive racing and luxury cars, never really going into large production series. The museum's founders, Fritz and Hans Schlumpf, were car crazy and secretly built up a sizeable collection, rebuilding a hall of their textile factory into a museum ... while running their company into the ground, as it went bankrupt they fled to Switzerland while workers occupied the private museum and made it open to the public.

@jean-claudemuller122 10 ай бұрын

The Schlumpf brothers bought directly at the former Bugatti plant all what they could buy, from original drawings to tools, casts and spare parts, so they were able to reconstruct Bugatti's as original. That's why this Bugatti's collection at Mulhouse is unique in the world.

I want to make a model of each Royale using the Testors/Italeri kits. I have one more to get, starting with the Napoleon kit and reworking the bodies for the enclosed ones. These things are starting to shoot up in price now that I'm looking for them. Finding good interior pictures for each isn't easy though, especially the long body limo with the cloth upholstery.

Which doesn't look very expensive. But at that time such a price for a car was much more than any other car. And even more so compared to incomes. In 1970s car model inflation was in general 3 times more than average inflation.

You had to hope nothing major would ever go wrong within the cylinders , since the Head was not removable ... A valve grind , if necessary , would start with removing the engine from the chassis , then starting at the base of the engine with the crank case , Oil pump , bearings , crank shaft , pistons , etc - all of these components being massive and heavy ... the mind boggles .

before having his own brand, Ettore worked as an engineer for Peugeot (french) and De Dietrich (french). His family came from Milan and his brother was a sculptor, he designed the elephant on the radiator.
