Portago just made my day, he told the story of the waning days of the Bugatti company, how Ettore fought and regained the factory, and then what happened. Educational and fascinating

fascinating that the company, with Ettore dead, only had once chance due to the limits of their available resources, and made the above Bugatti type 101. Sadly, it was identical to the Jaguars and Aston Martin (db2 below) and didn't get anyones interest. From the heights of fame to mediocrity, the Bugatti company had flopped.

for the complete range of the story, of which this is merely a single example, see Portago's post at http://deadlycurves.blogspot.com/2013/04/the-last-gasp-of-bugatti-1952-type-101.html
