Ettore Bugatti organised his making’s description by Type numbers.
This classification represents on the quasi-totality of factory’s plans
and commercial catalogs. Ettore had even engraved the
classification of his very first models inside a cigarettes case
which had been offered to him by Gustav Langen, one of the directors of
Deutz Company, on the occasion of the Prince Henri’s race in 1908.
For every Type, we give technical specifications with the Type evolution if necessary. Illustrations are mostly photos of time (black and
white), some are contemporary photos (in colours) of surviving samples.
pre-Molsheim production (1898 - 1909)
Ettore Bugatti does not take into account in his classification of the dual-monocylinders engined tricycle realised at Prinetti and Stucchi in
1898, what proves well that he only modified an existing single-engined model, but that he did not entirely conceive it. We know almost
nothing about technical characteristics of this tricycle, which could that be represented on this picture.

Automobiles Bugatti in Molsheim - total production
We consider that total production of Bugatti cars made by Molsheim factory is situated around
7950 samples between 1910 and 1963, among which 1700 or 1800 are surviving today (approximately 23 %).
This percentage of survival is very exceptional for a car Company, and proves the fascination that these cars practiced on their successive
owners, as well as dynamism of Clubs and passion of the world-wide collectors who widely contributed to rescue and conservation of a so
big number of Bugatti cars. That they are all thanked here for the immense accomplished work.
some precision to give, commentaries ?
