CAMERON McMILLAN FOUNDERS TROPHY

Only appropriate that the first recipient of this new trophy should be Cameron McMillan who received it at the 2010 Bugatti Birthday Dinner on 15th September, 2010.   The trophy was presented to the club by Robert Rowe & in the future will be awarded to meritorious people as seen fit by the BCA committee but not necessarily annually.  For the record it weighs 7kg & was once part of Cameron's T57.

You can say you saw it first here.  Our roving reporter spied a Bugatti that has been under wraps for over 35 years.

After that period you may well be expecting to see a fresh barn find coated in talcum powder like the heavily publicised ones, however, this find is far from it & is absolutely real, you might say CAR FINDS BARN.

If you want to see it in the flesh (the T57 that is) it will have to be at the Bathurst Bugrun 2011 else the 2011 NSW Bugatti Picnic to see both.  Have you got your entry in?

CAR FINDS BARN  -  One magnificent machine

21/02/2011

Bugattis in action.  Where?  Answer: at the Formula 1 Albert Park Melbourne 24th -27th March 2011 where French Racing Marques will be featured in the Historic Racing.   You will have to be there as it will not be televised.

Be quick: strickly numbered limited edition, our club Artiste' extrordinaire has his original works available - first in best dressed.  refer to Classifieds page for a preview.  They are highly recommended.
