Bugatti - Bugatti Type 44
The Bugatti Type 44 was produced in relatively large numbers (almost 1,100 chassis), and was a much more up to date practical machine compared to teh earlier 2 litre straght 8 models offered by Bugatti. The type 44 was a 3 litre 8 cylinder model available from 1927, the engine of which was basically an 8 cylinder version of a T40, a super practical machine and a very underrated model today. Production of Bugattis T44 continued to 1930.
Bugatti Type 44 tyre size was originally 5.00x19, and the high quality Blockley 5.00x19 is the most authentic and correct tyre that is produced for this model, making the cars look as they did in period. These really are the best tyres available, yet at a fraction of
the cost of the weak handling Michelin, or pretty much anything else - The list price is only because we sell our tyres direct to the end
user or restoration shops to avoid the use of the Classic
tyre wholesalers and their markups. Blockley makes tyres and high quality inner tubes for a very different reason to other makers of "old car hobby" tyres!
