HISTORY
It was the motor-sports-craving France that inaugurated the first “Grand Prix†race in 1906. Following the end of WWI, other countries began to host the so-called “Great Prices†races, as well. With the popularity of “Grand Prix†growing in the world, it soon became synonymous with international motor racing. The black and white pictures in the contemporary archives, however, fail to do justice to all the colorful race cars of the 1920s and 1930s. Since rules dictated back then that each participating team must have its car(s) donned in a finish of nation-specific color(s), the starting field typically presented a fantastic, colorful scene.
With this in mind, CMC has focused its attention on the Grand Prix model of the Bugatti T35, the most dominant race car of its time, so as to show the diversity of nation-specific racing colors once common on the race tracks. We started the project by featuring the racing colors of Great Britain, Spain, and Poland. Each item is limited to a specific quantity based on the historic achievements and appeal of the car.
What you are looking at is a highly-detailed precision replica, where the correct color pattern is our primary concern. Please be advised that we do not claim that the appearance of our model as well as its decals (e.g. starting numbers) are historically accurate. Nor do we make reference to a specific race or driver with these models.
