[Many years ago, I was made aware of the existence of a rare Bugatti given the name ‘Black Bess’. Over the years I found a few more snippets about the car and its owners, but it wasn’t until Gijsbert-Paul Berk investigated the subject for VeloceToday that I learned the full story of this fantastic Bugatti. Gijsbert-Paul begins a three part story this week, concentrating on the life of Roland Garros. To give our readers an idea of what this legend looks like, we present these color images of ‘Black Bess’, by both Bonhams Auctions and Hugues Vanhoolandt. Ed.]
