Bugatti Argentina reflects the Argentine passion for car racing prevailing during the pre-war years and particularly the affinity that some drivers felt for the French make during the twenties.

This is the first time in Argentina that a book has been written relating the history which commenced in 1924, when the first Type 30 arrived and continued until the sixties when Bugatti fans devoted themselves to salvaging and restoring the cars.

The trend resurged during the nineties with a new group of collectors. Bugatti created over the years a mystique which continues intact until the present day.

This title, often mistaken for "L'Epoque Bugatti", was written by Ettore Bugatti's first daughter whom he called L'Ebe after his own initials...

This history of the Bugatti family told by Ettore’s first daughter is particularly moving and interesting.

She rectifies some errors raised in the works appeared since her father’s death and tells his life with a very human point of view although without indulgence.

Gabriel Voisin's epilogue, technical appendixes, everything is fascinating in this book.
