Norev's 1:12 diecast Bugatti Type 35 in plain Blue presents the pre-war design without racing graphics. A large-scale, road-going take on one of the most influential shapes of 1920s motorsport.
TL;DR: This Norev Bugatti Type 35 is a 1:12 diecast finished in plain Blue without racing numbers, presenting the car's pre-war design on its own visual terms. It suits collectors who want the Type 35's shape and engineering detail without a specific competition livery attached.
Away from race numbers and sponsor colours, the Type 35's design speaks for itself: a narrow, purposeful shape built around function rather than decoration.
An Unlivered Type 35 at Large Scale
Without a racing number or event-specific graphics to apply, this Type 35 puts the full weight of scrutiny onto the shape and finish itself, and 1:12 gives that shape genuine room to be appreciated. The diecast body carries real weight in the hand, and a plain Blue finish demands even, consistent paintwork across the exposed engine cowling and slender body panels, since there is no livery detail to distract from any inconsistency. The horseshoe grille and wire wheels remain the two details worth inspecting most closely, as they are the Type 35's clearest identifying features regardless of colour scheme.
The Type 35's Design Beyond Racing Livery
While the Type 35 is best remembered for its competition record through the 1920s, its underlying design, narrow proportions, exposed engine and distinctive grille, was influential well beyond racing, shaping how sporting cars of the era were expected to look. Presenting it without a competition livery lets that design stand on its own merits rather than riding on a specific race result, which suits a collector more interested in the car's engineering and styling than its motorsport record.
Placing a Plain Type 35 in a Pre-War Collection
This model works well as a companion piece to a numbered racing Type 35, if one is in the same collection, letting a display show both the car's competition and road-going identities side by side. Given the large scale, it needs dedicated shelf space rather than a crowded row, and handling by the chassis protects the delicate grille and wire wheels. As a clean, undressed take on a genuinely influential shape, it holds its own without needing a race story attached.
