It was made by EMC for B&G models, LE of 100 for the 50 anniversary of the Bugatti Club

It is resin, curbside model. The chromed parts were made from brass. It is very pricy if you find one. I don't have it but several collectors here have it. I do have the CMC 1:18 Atlantic in black.

EMC is located in Ukraine and makes some of the best 1:43 models, the Bugatti Atlantic was the only 1:24 they made, again commissioned by B&G Models that is an American company.

Thanks so much for explaining that! Never heard of either company. Being it was....

USA Based I understand why it was costly! Much like the MC Talbots and Cadillac Saoutchik. Very costly for static models BUT when in hand they really are a treasure to behold! Thanks again!

Phil, google EMC 1:43 and go to the image tab, just for fun they make the most amazing production 1:43 miniatures. However they are expensive $300-400, and some of them go above 1k. I don't have any EMC, but own 4 Ilario models in 1:43.

It's discontinued so look on the secondary market. It's a resin casting.
