Bugatti (United Kingdom) - AllCarIndex

Bugatti Cars Ltd. was a British automotive company that operated briefly from 1981 to 1982. Based in London, the company produced a replica of the renowned Bugatti Type 35, a model celebrated for its racing pedigree and design. Despite its connection to the illustrious Bugatti name, the legitimacy of the company's use of this name has been questioned, as it did not produce vehicles that matched the original's historical significance or performance.

The replica was showcased at the 1981 London Motorfair, where it garnered attention due to its association with the Bugatti brand. However, the vehicle and the company itself faded from public view shortly thereafter, and Bugatti Cars Ltd. ceased operations within a year of its inception. The brief existence of the company remains a curious footnote in the history of automotive manufacturing, particularly in relation to the Bugatti legacy.
