Hand built<\/h2>\n

The six bespoke masterpieces that make up the Baby II Type 35 Centenary Edition family have each been elegantly crafted and uniquely designed with a livery inspired directly by the six Bugatti Type 35<\/a> racecars that left a lasting legacy on both the automotive and motorsports world 100 years ago.

Using the top-of-the-range Pur Sang Bugatti Baby II architecture, the Baby II Type 35 Centenary Edition<\/a> examples are decorated with a unique chassis number to match each of the original cars, confirmation of the power output and a unique designation of \u20181 of 1\u2019 for each model. In addition, the Baby II Type 35 Centenary Editions are decorated with hand-painted entry numbers on the radiator, hood and boat tail in Blanc.

A sixth Type 35 \u2013 the original prototype \u2013 was kept in reserve by Ettore Bugatti.<\/a> The Type 35 went on to achieve over 2,500 victories and podium finishes over a 10-year period, becoming the most successful racing car ever.
