| The Bugatti Type 51 series succeeded the famous Type 35 as Bugatti's premier racing car for the 1930s. The main distinction is that it uses a twin cam engine. Built strictly for Grand Prix racing, the Type 51 was an evolution of the highly successful Type 35B. The obvious external differences of a Type 51 are: the supercharger blow-off outlet is lower the bonnet in the louvered section one piece cast wheels instead of bolted on rims twin fuel caps behind the driver and finally the magneto being off-set to the left on the dash. However many Type 35 cars have been fitted with later wheels, so that is not a reliable signal. |
