Charles Jarrott and Letts, Ltd., of 40, Conduit Street, Regent Street, London, W. I, are the concessionaires for Bugatti cars, which are all, more or less, of the sports type. On the stand may be seen two chassis, one a fourcylinder, with 69 mm. by ioo mm. bore and stroke, overhead cam shaft and valves, of which there are four per cylinder, four-speed gear box, with right hand change, multi disc clutch, straight bevel for final drive, and brakes on transmission and rear wheels. The general specification of the eight-cylinder model, which has all the cylinders in line, is very similar to the above, the bore and stroke being 6o mm. and 88 mm. and the R.A.C. rating of the engine, 17.6. This model, however, has four-wheel brakes, of which those on. the front wheels are hydraulically operated. Examples of sports bodywork are shown on both types of chassis, and it is of interest to note that the sports bodies are known as “Type Constantini.”
