The second part (also the largest part) of the book is formed by the register of the known Type 43s. The cars are described in detail, with as much as possible the addition of the numbers of their major components. The history of the cars is described and previous owners are mentioned.
With a large number of cars, the reports from Bugatti consultant David Sewell are added, giving much detailed information about the respective car when inspected by Sewell. All in all it is a very interesting book and a must have for the Bugatti enthusiast.

Maybe if the development of these touring cars was described in chronological order, the similarities and differences between the different types would have been explained better. The book starts with the Type 44 development and chassis. The book contains a lot of interesting drawings, besides photographs of parts. There are a few very short chapters, the personal story of the restauration of a Type 49, There are chapters on Gangloff and Concours d'Elégance, and the familiar chapters with the different styles of bodywork, illustrated with numerous photographs. This book is not a must have, more a nice to have.

The book describes the relation between Bugatti and Argentine from an historical point of view. It is offset against the cultural and economical background of Argentine in the 20s and 30s. There is a chapter about the unsuccesful mission of Martin de Álzage Unzué to Indianapolis in 1923 with three Type 30s, added with two additional cars for Count Zborowski and Prince de Cystria.

Then there is a chapter about the first Bugattis in Argentine, describing how these European cars were breaking the domination of US cars in Argentine so far.
The races are dealt with in chronological order, by year or couple of years together. The information is very detailed, concluded with a table of results. There is a separate chapter on the ex Achille Varzi Type 51 owned by Roberto Mieres.
A seperate chapter is dedicated to the races with Type 52 in the Zoo of Buenos Aires, as a significant number of 23 little cars were imported to be rented at the Zoo. At the end is the register, containing the now know Bugattis in Argentine.

The book is not a bargain but it tells the history of Bugatti in Argentine quite well. It includes a number of interesting photographs and separate information of certain people of interest as well. Although the focus on Argentine makes it quite specific of course, it makes interesting reading.
