Created by bugatti
this bebe there had been a previous one was actually a lion-peugeot made by a different branch of the peugeot family. It was designed by no other than ettore bugatti, who built a prototype and called it the type 19. Legend has it that bugatti drove it from his factory to the lion-peugeot works and returned by train with a fat contract in his pocket, having left the prototype behind.
even good for racing
the bebe was a two-seater with a four-cylinder engine only 855 cc in size. The.t-head design, already becoming outmoded, had two camshafts running below the transmission, one for the inlet valves, the other for the outlet valves. Bugattis
original two-speed transmission, with concentric propeller shafts for the forward speeds, was abandoned. The bebe even participated in sports racing, with one finishing second in the 1913 cyclecar grand prix.
