One of the most spectacular sights of the 72nd Members Meeting was the grid for the Grover Williams Trophy, a race to celebrate the 90th Anniversary of the introduction of the Type 35 Bugatti at the French Grand Prix of 1924. Twenty five various T35s and derivatives had been entered. My favorites being the two Type 59s, Tom Dark’s Type 59/50 and the amazing Type 57G “The Tank” a factory team car which had competed in the Le Mans 24 hour race of 1939 – One of two such team cars entered for that race. Below is a sample of some of the Bugattis tha competed for the Williams Trophy.
