History

The Bugatti 110P was a proposed military version of the 100P race plane. The 100P was incomplete when France was invaded & in fear of it being captured it was then hidden at a farm where it stayed forgotten for 30 years. It was later sold several times until it ended up in an American museum. That's not the end of the story tho, as there is currently a small group building a full sized working replica of the 100P, so after 73 years this plane might finally get to fly.
