The 1933 Bugatti Type 51 Grand Prix Two-Seater will be on the list of the Bonhams` Paris sale of Motor Cars, on February 5, 2011, a car owned by the late Fitzroy John Somerset. Also, on the list there will be the 5th Baron Ranglan (1927-2010), Patron and former Chairman from the Bugatti Owners` Club and trustee of the famous Bugatti Trust, the auction house being recently announced.
Bugattis can develop passions according to Lord Raglan, a passion, which in his case rose when he was 18, allowing him to race around the world. More to that, Andre Roth wrote in The Guardian that Lord Raglan could have been the pope of a religion, if that religion were the Bugatti-worship.
