Baby Bugatti Type 52• Chassis no. 454• 12-volt electric engine• Dunlop Cord Balloon tyres• Eligible for Little Big MansThe automobile held a special place in the Bugatti family. Roland, Ettore's youngest son, could not be left out. For his fourth birthday in 1926, Ettore built him a faithful 1:2 scale replica of the celebrated Bugatti 35 Grand Prix, then at the height of its glory. This would become the famous « Baby Bugatti » type 52.Presented on the marque's stand at the Milan Motor Show in 1927, rich and famous clients acquired them for their offspring. It was a modest commercial success. Less than 500 examples were built as Ettore Bugatti realised that not all children were comfortable with the ½ scale. The chassis was soon lengthened, with 22 louvres on the bonnet in place of 20 on the rare first models.This model enjoyed its own catalogue and was displayed at Bugatti dealerships alongside its big sisters. Often to be spotted at fashionable beaches such as Deauville and Nice, it gave rise to fiercely contested competitions with its top speeds of 15 to 18 km/h. Proud owners included the future Kings Hassan II of Morocco and Baudouin of Belgium.This Baby Bugatti, chassis no. 454 features aluminium bodywork and wheels, with a steel chassis. Dashboard with Bugatti-branded ammeter and gear change lever (forward, neutral and reverse). Fitted with a 12-volt electric engine operated by a rheostat-accelerator, 'Dunlop Cord Balloon' tyres on removable spoke wheels. Leather bonnet straps, seat and spare wheel strap. Boyce Motometer type radiator cap and 2-eared petrol cap. Brakes on all four wheels operated by external lever. Restored in the iconic blue, presented in working condition.The promotional four-page brochure will be passed on to the buyer. It rests on four correctly sized jack stands.122cm Footnotes:Baby Bugatti Type 52 • Châssis n°454 • Moteur électrique 12 volts• Pneus Dunlop Cord Ballon• Eligible à Little Big Mans Dans la famille Bugatti, l'automobile occupe une place de choix. Roland, le plus jeune fils d'Ettore, ne pouvait faire exception. Pour son quatrième anniversaire en 1926, Ettore réalise une fidèle réplique à l'échelle 1:2 de la célèbre Bugatti 35 Grand Prix, alors au faîte de sa gloire. Ce sera la fameuse « Baby Bugatti » type 52.Présentée sur le stand de la marque au Salon de Milan 1927, les riches et célèbres clients l'achèteront pour leur progéniture. C'est un petit succès commercial. Elle sera produite à moins de 500 exemplaires au total car Ettore Bugatti réalisa très vite que les enfants n'étaient pas à l'aise s'il respectait l'échelle ½. Rapidement le châssis fut rallongé et comportait alors 22 ouïes de capot au lieu des 20 des rares premiers modèles.Ce modèle bénéficiera alors de son propre catalogue et sera exposé dans les concessions Bugatti tout comme ses grandes sœurs. Familière des plages à la mode telles que Deauville et Nice, elle donnait lieu à des compétitions acharnées à sa vitesse maximum de 15 à 18 km/h.Parmi les heureux propriétaires, on peut noter les futurs roi Hassan II du Maroc et le roi Baudouin de Belgique.Cette Baby Bugatti, châssis n°454 comporte une carrosserie et roues aluminium, châssis en tôle. Tableau de bord avec un ampèremètre siglé Bugatti et une manette de changement de marche (avant, neutre et arrière). Equipée d'un moteur électrique en 12 volts commandé par un rhéostat-accélérateur, pneus « Dunlop Cord Ballon » sur roues bâton amovibles. Sangles de capot, siège et courroie de la roue de secours en cuir. Bouchon type Boyce Motometer et bouchon d'essence à oreilles rapportés. Freins sur les quatre roues par levier extérieur.Restaurée dans son emblématique couleur bleue, en état de marche.Le dépliant promotionnel de quatre pages du modèle sera fourni à l'acquéreur.Elle repose sur quatre chandelles à sa mesure.122 cmFor further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
