A Bugatti is for posers

• 

Eh, well… that is to say only if you have no other job at the pitlane. This great image comes from the collection of the late Dacre Stubbs, a professional photographer who owned a Bugatti Type 51 before the war. Later it was raced by Geoffrey (Twink) Wincop, who in this picture is tuning the supercharged engine, while wife Monica defiantly looks the other way (click pic for enlargement). More from the collection of great racing photographs by Dacre Stubbs can be found at Motormarques. By chance we also found Monica posing at Shelsley Walsh. Monica beautiful as ever, and the thread of the tyres worn out as before...

Update by Rupert Lloyd Thomas who informes us that Geoffrey's name should be Whincop, not Wincop.
