For those of you who aren’t familiar with the early history of Bugatti, the Type 35 was a revolutionary race car built in the 1920s. Designed by Ettore Bugatti himself, it became hugely successful, winning over 1,000 races, including five consecutive victories at the legendary Targa Florio, between 1925 and 1929.
During that period, Ettore and his son Jean built the original Baby, a fully functional 50% scale model of the Type 35 created for Ettore’s other son, Roland, who was 4 years old at the time. Other Bugatti owners saw the tiny car and wanted one for their children, so Bugatti started a production run of 500 units in 1927.
