Bradley was a friend of Bugatti and knew a great deal about the career of the Royale. Bradley states that the name Royale comes from the fact that the reigning King of Spain, Alfonso XIII, wished to buy the first production model. He had seen it at the San Sebastian G.P. at which Ettore Bugatti drove the prototype. Unfortunately, Alfonso XIII was deposed before the machine was finished. | | Category: | Recreation & Sports: Automotive | | Link Owner: | pound | | Date Added: | September 26, 2008 01:01:28 PM | | Number Hits: | 0 | | |
