Molsheim-era Bugattis are my favorite cars, ever. Something magical and mysterious about them.
These Pur Sang cars are incredible, the idea of owning a T35 or pre-war Alfa Gran Prix car for the cost of a used 458 is something that motivates me to work harder... it will probably never be within reach, but with one good break it very well could be.
If you're interested in early Bugattis, Maxilane, pick a used copy of "Bugatti: Le Pur-sang des Automobiles" by H.G. Conway. I promise it's an amazing and exhaustively detailed read. I need to do a write-up on it.
