Bugatti Type 57C- James Young

The Bugatti Type 57 was a renowned grand tourer automobile built by Bugatti from 1934 to 1940. It was an entirely new design created by Jean Bugatti, the son of founder Ettore, and became the foundation for the company’s road and racing cars during that era. A total of 710 Type 57s were produced, with a variety of in-house and custom coachwork options.
Only a handful of Bugatti Type 57s received James Young coachwork. Sources indicate only two Drophead Coupés and a few Sports Saloons or Faux Cabriolets were built by the company.
Chassis & Engine These cars were built on the Bugatti Type 57 chassis, which featured a 3.3-liter (3,257 cc) inline-eight engine designed by Jean Bugatti. The “S” designation means the chassis was surbaissé (lowered) for a sportier, sleeker profile, often with a dry-sump oiling system. A Roots-type supercharger could also be fitted, creating a Type 57SC.
