LE MANS miniatures Bugatti type 59 n°8 GP Monaco 1934 driven vente by René Dreyfus

Miniature at scale 1:18 of the Bugatti T59 of the Monaco GP of 1934.

Based on the road version, the race versions have been modified significantly. In order probably to give priority to accessibility in case of repair needs, the body cut has been revised and the rear ridge has disappeared. The fuel tank caps are now screw-type and not hinged. The blades are also longer because a mesh was used to lock and unblock them.

The French driver René Dreyfus’s car No. 8 is semi-gloss blue colored. Unlike Tazio Nuvolari’s car number 28, there is no fuel tank to his left but fuel transfer pipes. Dreyfus’s nickname was tactician. He starts third and finishes third.
