Great video! I think calling the car ‘revolutionary’ is a bit of a stretch, it wasn’t really that quick compared to other factory teams in the mid 20’s. I think all of its success came from its reliability and low running costs, which was very important in the late 20’s and early 30’s. When there was competition from other factory teams, such as Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Delage or Sunbeam Bugatti wasn’t that quick, it was actually quite an outdated car compared to those teams. Compared to all the privateer cars the Bugatti competed against in the smaller races, it was an absolute rocketship, sure, but it’s marketability was what made the car so successful, in my opinion :) I didn’t know about the backstory of the company that much, very interesting to hear!
My nephew has a T37 here in Australia. It blew a motor (con rod)in the 1951 at Bathurst so it got fitted with a Holden 6. It does have Bugatti motor that could be fitted but I think its history is more important so he will leave it as it is for now. Interesting fact is the T37 was developed as the T35 motor was not as reliable as the T40 motor that went in to the T37.
The Type 37 is the 4-cylinder "clubmans" version of the Type 35 8-cylinder Grand Prix car. Like the T35B supercharged GP car, Bugatti also built the T37A with a supercharger.
@@RoyCousins yep it was a 4 cyl but when the con rod went west they put in a Holden 6. It raced in Australian GPs at the time using the original engine and laterly the 6.
Well done show. Just so you know…. You get into these cars from the opposite side of the steering wheel. Had you got in from the left side, you would have looked graceful!
@daniel635biturbo I speak perfectly good English, in fact I would love the chance to narrate a video except I haven't a clue about filming a video or using a camera. Unfortunately many people make YT videos which are unwatchable simply because their mate has a camera but they lack the skills to produce anything that is interesting and informative. Sadly this is one such example.
@@philhawley1219 take your negativity elsewhere. if you've got that much hatred for something so light-hearted, I couldn't imagine the state of your life.
Yeah I was pretty frustrated with this, I didn't have a mic to hand when editing. It was filmed back in July so I was kind of stuffed. The annotation over the top was my cover up.
@13:14 The Type 59 blows my mind. Never heard of it. But what does Type "Firty Five" mean? (harhar) 😁 My subtitles were having a hard time with your accent!
@@AutoHeritage US of A. Also, you & many Brits pronounce your 'th's like Fs and Ls like W's. I love accents & find them fascinating. Thanks for the killer video!
@@AutoHeritage Just watched it, and none looked like the black one in this video @13:14-ish. Was that a special bodied one of one maybe?......................................
the man is very articulate, he also well informed, storytelling style is also excellent... but why is it so difficult to watch... i mean, its an interesting car but i can't keep watching
I've lusted after this car since I 1st saw a video explaining the Pur Sang Type 35 8-10yrs ago !
Its a stunning bit of machinery, or maybe even art. I'm glad they're kind of accessible to the originals.
First model car I ever built in 1975 when I was 8 years old. I saw the picture on the box in the toy shop window and just had to have it.
Not a bad car to start with!
Great video!

Great take on it that's very interesting. Stats never tell the whole story
Thank you for such a great, well researched story, I wish your channel all the best..... also, I love those shoes. Again, great job!
Appreciate that thank you!

I haven't heard of many pre-war cars down that way. I can see why he’d want to keep it. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you glad you enjoyed it 🙏

Noted. But I'm unsure I could still make it graceful no matter what the side XD
@ Yeah. The cars were a lot smaller then.
Very well narrated !
Ay appreciate that thank you!
I thought that the narration was very poor. A strange accent, plenty of mispronunciation and unnecessary swearing. I won't be watching this man again.
@@philhawley1219 I'll suggest you do it better yourself, how hard can it be ?

Should have reshot the audio for the drum brakes. Pretty a big thing to have wrong.

Molsheim was german then

Mabe the music?
Why the music ? The story in interesting enough by itself
Just always been used to editing commentary with music behind. But I do agree it can take away from the story. I'll keep this in mind for the next one
Less AI pics would be a plus
Hard to please everyone
Won a thousand RAICIS? what the hell is that?😡😣😞
What the hell is a name like Jesus Hernandez?
No, idiots paying those crazy prices for crap.
I don't understand what you mean?
