This isn’t a Bugatti you see every day…
it’s a Bugatti… with a built-in trailer 😳Not mine, nor Colin’s, just stumbled across this absolute oddity.
Long-distance touring, 1930s style.
Because apparently luggage space wasn’t negotiable.
Would you actually use this… or is this where elegance went a bit too far? 😏![]()

New video is live on my YouTube channel!
It was meant to go up tomorrow, but I accidentally set the wrong date 😅
This was my first drive in the Type 51 at Prescott during the Garden Party, and it was absolutely incredible, a big thank you to Colin for all his support and for trusting me to drive such a special car.
Here are a few photos…Read More

Which one do you prefer to drive? The Dolly or the typ51

I don’t think I could choose…I love them both…I love how playful the t51 is, but also the wildness and preselector gearbox on Betty…Dolly! 😊

Betty is very different to the later dolomites o dolly’s form the BL era in the 70s

Yes, only two were ever made, and apparently they bankrupted Triumph! The cost of building these cars was so high, and the selling price was the same, that nobody really wanted to buy one! They do share the exact same engine as on Alfa Romeo 8c, just imperial not metric.

Reminds me of the Citroen CX Tissier’s from the 70s and 80s. They made flatbeds and the Loadrunner for high speed newspaper deliveries.
