ATTI TYPE 23 (BRESCIA MODIFIE) – 1925
|
The extremely successful Type 13 was nicknamed “Brescia” after the resounding 1,2,3,4 victory in the voiturette class of the Italian Grand Prix of 1921. The Type 23 Bugatti is its touring version. It boasts the hallmarks of classic Bugatti design, including a single overhead camshaft engine of 1½ Litres and a sweet gearbox enabling lightning gear changes. The peculiar Bugatti rear suspension with reversed quarter-elliptic springs is also used. The brakes, on the rear wheels only, were not quite as good. They were indecently fast for their day with even the touring versions (known as the Brescia Modifié) able to maintain 120 km/h all day long. The Brescia Bugatti and its derivatives were in production from 1922 until 1926.

Humber was a pioneering British cycle manufacturer, which began manufacturing copies of the French Michaux Vélocipede in 1870. The manufacture of powered vehicles started in 1896, and Léon Bollée vehicals were sold as either Coventry-Bollées or Coventry-Motettes. The first Humber car was built in 1901 in Humber’s Beeston factory near Nottingham with the production of the light Humberette starting in 1904 in Coventry. By the end of 1906, Humber was one of the largest British car manufacturers. Production of the first Humberette was terminated in 1905 in order to concentrate on the bigger cars, but by 1913 the model name was revived when a new Humberette cyclecar made its debut. Humber was taken over by the Rootes brothers in the 1920s. In 1976, the make was terminated when Chrysler took over.
