Meet the first owner.

Now who will buy a new Bugatti T57? The cliché answer always is 'playboys & moviestars'. Probably true, but when the story becomes more concrete and you zoom into one of those persons, the cliché fades away rapidly. Meet this lovely long legged brunette, nobody less than Mrs Hella Hartwich. You don't know her? Where have you been hiding lately? Don't you ever go to the movies? She was a top babe in Max Obal's 1932 skiing thriller 'Abenteuer in Engadin' (Filmarchiv.at). It makes you understand how Hella got the money to buy the equally daring as fast Franay bodied T 57. We are not sure what became of Mrs. Hartwich, but you still can check her taste for cars when you visit the showroom of Christoph Grohe (photo courtesy Pierre-Yves Laugier)
