A celebration of French and Italian cars, music and entertainment

Commemorating the 90^th Anniversary of the Bugatti Owners’ Club

'La Vie en Bleu' returns to Prescott on Saturday 25 - Sunday 26 May 2019. The spectacular two-day event is a firm favourite on the motoring calendar and celebrates all things French & Italian and this year will be no exception. Prescott Hill Climb (Home of the Bugatti Owners’ Club) will once again be transformed into a celebration of fine French and Italian automobiles, action-packed motor racing, and a whole host of entertainment.

The Bugatti Owners’ Club is the oldest Club for the marque in the world, founded in 1929. To mark the significant 90th anniversary, The Bugatti Trust will join in the festivities to celebrate the landmark year. Whilst many other historic Bugatti’s from around the world will make a pilgrimage to Prescott, some for the first time ever. It is anticipated that over 90 Bugatti’s will be in attendance!

Event Highlights:

· As home to the Bugatti Owners’ Club, the famous Molsheim marque will be well represented with a large gathering of vintage Bugattis, including the Works 59/50B Bugatti which is to make a magnificent return to Prescott after 80 years! Plus there will be several Veyron’s including the Supersport and Pur Sang and its 1990’s cousin the EB110.
