1920 Bugatti Type 13 2 Seat Dog Cart

After opening his new factory in Molsheim, Ettore Bugatti refined his lightweight Type 10 into the Type 13 racer. The new company produced five examples in 1910 and entered the French Grand Prix at Le Mans in 1911. The tiny Bugatti looked a little out of place in the race, but took second after seven hours of racing. World War I halted car production but Ettore took completed Type 13 cars with him to Milan for the duration of the war, leaving the parts for three more cars buried near his factory in France. After the war, Bugatti returned and prepared five Type 13s for racing. They were a great success, winning the first four places at the 1921 Brescia Grand Prix, so Type 13s are often called the 'Brescia' Bugattis.

This Brescia was acquired by the late Gary Byrd in 2004 and restored for vintage racing. He raced it in the 2007 and 2008 Monterey Historic Races as well as in the Wine Country Classic Races at Sears Point.
