A Parisian businessman owned one of his cars, but reported having trouble starting it on cold days.
His numerous letters to Mr. Bugatti went unanswered for an extended length of time.
A business trip took the gentlemen to Strasbourg and while there he made the short drive to the Bugatti factory, where he presented himself to the secretary and demanded a meeting with Mr. Bugatti.
Not having an appointment, the man was kept waiting. Finally, Mr. Bugatti was leaving for lunch, the man stopped him and explained who he was and started to elaborate on the issue.
Mr. Bugatti stopped him: "Yes, I know the issue. You cannot start my car on cold days without some difficulty. Surely sir, if you can afford a Bugatti, you can afford a heated garage.
LOL
That’s a strangely beautiful car; it seems out of its time.
I always thought that Isadora Duncan died in a Bugatti; but it was an Amilcar...sort of clunky in design, comparatively, but they did call it ‘the poor man’s Bugatti’.
