About the Bugatti T35 National Colors Spain CMC 1:18
TL;DR: This CMC 1:18 diecast reproduces the Bugatti Type 35, launched in 1924, finished in Spain's national racing colors under the pre-war convention that assigned each competing country its own livery. With opening features and hand-fitted metal panels, this is a used model whose box shows traces of storage.
The Type 35 became one of the most dominant grand prix cars ever built, credited with hundreds of race wins across the mid-1920s, and its distinctive horseshoe-shaped radiator and cast-alloy wheels remain instantly recognizable to this day.
National Colors, Faithfully Reproduced
Before car sponsorship existed in its modern form, national racing colors identified a car's country of entry rather than its team, and this Spain-liveried Type 35 captures that specific pre-war convention. CMC's hand-assembled metal construction lets the doors and hood open to reveal the engine and the cast-alloy wheel detail the Type 35 pioneered, features that mattered as much to the car's success as its handling. The finish carries real paint depth, and the horseshoe radiator shape is reproduced with genuine dimensional presence rather than a flattened approximation. Metal construction gives the model appropriate weight for a grand prix car built for endurance across long, punishing races. As a used model, some wear around the opening panels is expected; the box shows traces of storage, a condition limited to the carton rather than the casting itself.
A Landmark Subject in a Specific Livery
The Type 35's dominance makes it a staple of pre-war collecting, but the specific national-colors livery gives this example a narrower, more considered appeal than a standard factory-blue version would carry. Displayed alongside other national-colors entries, it illustrates a racing convention largely forgotten today, making it a genuinely educational as well as decorative addition to a serious pre-war grand prix collection.
