Hugh Graham Conway était un ingénieur et l'enthousiaste Bugatti le plus influent de l'après-guerre, auteur d'articles et de livres fondamentaux sur le sujet pendant quatre décennies. Ses écrits se sont principalement concentrés sur les aspects techniques et l'histoire de la marque, ses études définitives étant considérées parmi les meilleures publications monomarques automobiles. Conway était réputé pour ses propres reconstructions et modifications d'automobiles Bugatti, en particulier pour son Type 43 bleu foncé, devenu légendaire pour sa vitesse et ses victoires en course.




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 Grand Prix Bugatti merits its own book due to its impressive racing record, exceptional craftsmanship, and unique design features attributed to the renowned designer Ettore Bugatti. Originally published in 1968, Conway's work focuses on the racing Types 35, 37, 43, and 51, detailing their anatomy and achievements on the track. It includes a schedule of individual models arranged by chassis number, providing type numbers, factory dates, brief histories, and, where known, the owners as of 1968. 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.
