This was designed by Ettore Bugatti and has a two bearing, T head, four cylinder engine of about 650cc. The whole car is very light and delicate looking but goes very well for its size.

DynaMike ◊ 2008-09-29 13:02	Indeed a Peugeot 6CV Bébé. 3095 of these were built in Beaulieu, France between 1913 and 1916. In 1013 it had a 2-speed gearbox and chassis code [Type BP1], later it had a 3-speed gearbox and chassis code [Type B3 P1]. Strictly speaking the origin of this car should be Germany, since Molsheim (where the Bugatti works were settled) was still part of Germany... These first prototypes date from 1911.
