Pasta machine made with a steering wheel, by Ettore Bugatti. His personal pasta machine, custom-built by Bugatti fabricators to replace a broken French machine

this came about when Ettore's Italian chef told him the spaghetti maker had broken, and since it would take too long to get a new one from Alsace, he designed a new one, and had it made in the factory, but instead of the usual hand crank, he took a Type 46 steering wheel out of inventory
