Hugh G. Conway Boeken
Hugh Graham Conway was een ingenieur en de meest invloedrijke Bugatti-enthousiasteling uit de naoorlogse periode, die vier decennia lang invloedrijke artikelen en boeken over het onderwerp schreef. Zijn geschriften richtten zich voornamelijk op technische aspecten en de geschiedenis van het merk, waarbij zijn definitieve studies tot de beste monografische publicaties over één automerk behoren. Conway stond bekend om zijn eigen reconstructies en aanpassingen van Bugatti-auto's, met name zijn donkerblauwe Type 43, dat legendarisch werd vanwege zijn snelheid en raceoverwinningen.

The story of the Grand Prix Type 35 Bugatti racing car encompasses its origins, design, racing history, and later successors. H. G. Conway, a noted Bugatti historian and owner of several models, is highly regarded in this field.

The appendices feature tabulated specifications for each type. Bugatti owners will find practical information for maintaining their historic vehicles. Richly illustrated with period racing photographs and technical diagrams, this book serves as a classic reference for enthusiasts interested in the history of Bugatti racing and competition cars.
