Agreed 100%!
I asked myself which watch would I prefer to this lovely gem and there was not one that I would have preferred to the Baby ll. Yes it is not the most practical of vehicles but the fact is I am pretty sure it will put a larger grin on my face than almost any car out there let alone any watch.
My 59th birthday present
Two days ago I celebrated my last year of being fifty something and decided to place an order for a limited edition Bugatti. Before any of you congratulate me or sigh in disbelief, the car I ordered was a special car released to commemorate Bugatti's 110t...
Thank you Nico!
It is a massive indulgence on my part and I did ask myself the question - a nice watch or the Baby Bugatti ll? There was no contest
The fact that a nice watch approaches
This in cost blows my mind and puts the bubble in watch prices in perspective.
Agreed 100%!

Thanks Nico!
We all do what it takes to bring a smile to our faces - be it a good meal, a holiday, a watch, a car, a home or a companion. Fortunately, we all have different likes and dislikes so there is plenty for everyone
Thanks Filip!
I am actually torn between the base model as I doubt I shall be racing it but it only comes in French Racing Blue. And I am also considering the Vitesse model in baby blue which is a very attractive colour. Then again almost any colour will look good on t...
Thank you very much!
I guess if one does not want to drive it, one can always place it in one's lounge!
Oh my goodness these things are expensive!
They start at 36,000 Euros! Happy birthday Sham! I want to go for a ride in yours someday! I've only had the pleasure of driving a Bugatti once before and would like to experience it again!
Thank you Patrick!
And this is coming for someone who buys MB&F music machines!! Come over to Malaysia and the ride in the Bugatti is yours! Actually I thought the Baby ll was a bargain compared to the 93k euros Ferrari Testa Rossa J which did not drive as well when I d...
Saw this today from the same maker as your Bugatti!
I can't wait to have a go in your Bugatti! This is at Pebble Beach, where they have the car events going on this week through Sunday. ...
The Little Car Company
has produced three cars - the Bugatti Baby ll, the Testa Rossa J as in your photo and the Aston Martin DB5 Junior. The Ferrari is a 75% exact replica of the original and this was the car I was initially keen on when I visited the company in June for a tes...
Can't wait to see it!
All three are magnificent beauties. But that Bugatti is just a show stopper. I can't wait to see it! Big congrats to you!
Alas! I don't have a big birthday to celebrate!
But I do like the idea! I've ordered a couple other electric cars unfortunately. So the budget has already been allocated.
Phwoar!!!
A couple of electric cars?? Well the Baby Bugatti ll would make it three electric cars for you and you do not need a birthday to acquire one. I just needed an excuse
I can see that you are a man of the times Patrick!
I am still partial to petrol guzzling machines!!
Understandably!
The petrol guzzling machines are indeed much more interesting, I have to admit. The sound of a purring V8, V10, or V12 is certainly intoxicating and difficult to resist.
My six cylinder M2 Competition does not sound too bad either! :-)
I am fortunate that in Malaysia petrol is still relatively cheap and also there are hardly any public charging ports as yet. But if I had to buy an electric car, it would be a Taycan
M2 Comp sounds like a great machine.
I havenāt driven the Taycan. But Iāve heard good things. However from a software perspective there are some problems. And battery management computer fiasco where Porsche specified a cheaper system than the Audi Ć©tron GT. Iāll wait a bit until those thing...
Yes the M2 Comp is everything one could ask for in one package
I had not realised that the Taycan had teething issues. Usually the Germans resolve everything before placing a car in the market but I guess the technology is in its infancy stage.
First happy birthday my dear friend and second huge congrats with your amazing new Car š¤©šš»
I have seen a famous Car Collector on YouTube taking delivery of the same car . Looks so cool and amazing. I can imagine your thrilled to see and drive this uber cool machine when its delivered.
Thank you very much!
That famous car collector on youtube is at several levels higher than me with his Hermes Bugattis. For me this is the closest I will ever get to own a Bugatti and at least I shall never get a speeding ticket with this one!
Thank you very much!
It is such a pity that the car is not road legal and I shall be driving it on the narrow village roads on the island of Langkawi in Malaysia. I probably could do with a pair if goggles too!
I was actually wondering whether it was street legal or not!ā¦
why is it not? Is it just the overall size?
A good question!
I never really did ask. Perhaps it has not met the stringent safety standards prevailing these days in the automobile industry. But I will be quite happy driving it off the main roads on the quieter more private roads.
I think the Baby ll
is a good example of how motoring fun can be derived at low speeds in the right machine. The finishing of the car is supposedly at the high standards of a Bugatti so for me, that is good enough. Also, this will be my first adventure with an electric car. ...
Very interesting, I didnāt realize these are electricā¦
is electric the only option when purchasing? Should be less maintenance issues overall. Are you able to set up a charging outlet for the car at home (like Tesla and EV drivers here in the US)? As far as speed, up to 68kph is more than sufficient for a fun...
Yes electric is the only option
the base model comes with a 1.4kW battery whereas the Vitesse and Pursang each have a 2.8kW battery. No special charging port is required unlike Tesla or Porsche as the Bugatti's battery packs are much smaller. And yes, maintenance should be minimal relat...
You are most welcome!
Basically a 1.4kW battery will give a range of 25kms while a 2.8kW battery will cover 50kms. That might not sound like much but as the car is not for proper roads, that should cover quite a lot of ground.
Congratulations ! ā¦
The Little Car Company make wonderful recreations and the craftsmanship is impeccable. Chiron Blue would be a fitting tribute to the great manā¦ ...
Thank you Captain!
I must check our Chiron Blue. I had half made up my mind on Dreyfuss Blue I was most impressed when I visited the factory in Bicester two months ago.
Itās a pleasure ā¦
I donāt think you can go wrong with either. How about your choice of trim ?
Interestingā¦
I was hoping you would go for the silk or Gris Rafale. Excellent choices.
Very cool.
Weāve long been at the point where watch prices have made the opportunity cost of buying a new watch quite high.
Thank you for saying so!
Watches are great but the high value of some pieces should start make us question what else can we buy at that price. Unless of course we on first name terms with Elon Musk!
Thank you Bill!
It is great to see something quite unaffordable being within the reach of many.
Thank you for your wishes!
Those who know me personally would exclaim that you were referring to my bald head!
Might I suggest something in tweed?
If it was me Iād be wearing a baseball hat (Red Sox) but thatās just me. Congrats once again and happy driving!
Ha! ha!
Your imagination deserves to be shared with the gentlemen at Molsheim when they do design the next Bugatti cap!
