1931 Bugatti Type 54 GP As a stop gap between planned models, Bugatti produced the Type 54. It became a synthesis of the Type 45 chassis with an eight-cylinder engine from the Type 50. It was raced actively from 1930 to 1933 and became known for its brute power among the more nimble Type 35s it replaced. At the Monza GP in 1930, Louis Chiron and Archille Varzi raced the first two Type 54s. Varzi was able to secure third place which wasn’t bad for a car conceived and fabricated in just two weeks. A highlight victory came when Varzi won at at Avus in 1933. In 1934 maximum weight restrictions made the Type 54 redundant. Two chassis were later converted into road cars by Bachelier and Messrs Uhlik. Grand Prix car of 1931, fitted with a twin overhead-cam 4.9 liter engine delivering 300 hp (223 kW). Four or five were built. Chassis number 54201 was the first type 54 built and was the works car for Achille Varzi , factory number plate 4311-NV1 Source: www.supercars.net & Wikipedia www.facebook.com/StampSellersBKI #stamps #philategram #stamp #rare #filatelia #prangko #philately #worldstamp #philatelie #philatelist #special #postzegels #airmail #perangkokuno #stampsellers #selos #stampscollection #stayhome #postales #shotoniphone #bugatti #bugatti54 #supercharged #frenchgrandprix #winner #sportcar #granprix #300HP #france #ettorebugatti https://www.instagram.com/p/CDI3a4qpLB_/?igshid=z4wdt2ibp7w4
