Developments included touring standard seating, with twin fillers on derivatives types and reverse-engineered into Type 35s on occasion. Note external operating levers and handles.

Detail developments saw modifications such as the number of screws around the alloy wheels’ circumference was also changed in later production (32 6mm studs to 24 studs). Manufacturing issues with these Dunlop-made safety tyres of special size saw Bugatti revert to Michelin tyres at standard 28in x 4.75in/711mm x 100mm. Later Type 35C wheels had a large brake casting aperture or 330mm over the prior 270mm – to allow for bigger brakes. Just the thing for the modeller to be aware of.

The radiator and new horseshoe-shaped grille/cowl became the Bugatti hallmark – yet the original, slim, tapered radiator and cowl/shell had to be widened to fit the new modified engine and chassis space of the Type 35T, and then enlarged again for the Type 35B – to increase cooling once the bigger engines manifested. This was known as the Miramas radiator. The four-cylinder Type 37 range however, retained the narrow radiator.

Many enthusiasts think that the original, smaller, tapered radiator shell is prettier and better integrated into the overall styling. Visually, the single fuel cap looks good, but later cars had twin fuel caps (one to fill, the other to inspect the contents level?) and some earlier cars have been retrofitted with them as well.

Cars (T35B) with the larger 330mm brakes, more power and bigger wheels, featured an extra leaf (inverted) as a stiffener in the spring and these are clipped over at the rear, not just at the front.

Twin filler caps were not unique to the Type 51 and some Type 35s were retro fitted with them.
