Wonderful pictures from @remi.dargegen of the legendary Le Mans winning Bugatti Type 57G ‘Tank’. Here’s some more on this fascinating car, from our friends at @classicdriver: This Le Mans-winning Bugatti Tank is the first and last of a rare breed Almost 100 years on, it’s hard to imagine that in the years leading up to the Second World War, sports car development was still continuing at a pace. Just a few years before tanks began to traverse Europe, Bugatti had built a tank of their own, however, this wasn’t a machine of war, but rather a weapon intended to dispatch foes on track. The story of the Bugatti Type 57G ‘Tank’ begins in early 1936, when the Molsheim-based firm’s engineers had just designed a special racing version of the Type 57S engine fitted with a lighter crankshaft. They draped the chassis in an unusual streamlined body that enveloped the wheels, referring to it as “the aerodynamic mule.” This is the car you see here, which currently resides with the @simeonemuseum, who kindly allowed us access to the car for this story. June 1936 would be a crucial month for Bugatti. Just as testing of the Type 57G was well underway, the Automobile Club of France Grand Prix announced they would allow the participation of “Grand Touring Cars,” meaning the Type 57G’s first bout was just around the corner. Days before the Grand Prix of the Automobile Club of France for sports cars was held at Montlhery, Bugatti assembled two more Type 57Gs. However, it was the aerodynamic mule that would seize victory, easily winning the race at an average speed of 125.228 km/h for just shy of 8 hours...

A star of our show in September was this glorious 1953 Siata 208 CS Balbo, one of only 9 ever built. This car, chassis number CS 071, is powered by a Fiat 8V eight-cylinder engine and features a stunning Carrozzeria Balbo-bodied aluminium coupe design. This particular example boasts a remarkable history of single-family ownership since 1959, meticulously documented from its origins to the present day. Pic: @tshaxson Presented by @alangesoehne
