That's not an oil leak, it's a Bugatti marking it's territory with horsepower sweat

Another cool variety of photos from a Tumbler site (these tumbler sites are only found by stumbling upon them I think)

When built, nobody could afford them--production began right at the start of the Great Depression.

A mere six Royale's were produced and two were never sold, staying instead with the Bugatti estate.

This car, the 1930 Bugatti Type 41 Royale Kellner Coach (or 'Coupe') was one of those cars (bricked up behind a false wall during World War II). It stayed with the family until 1950 when both cars were sold to American multimillionaire Briggs Cunningham, who was himself a sports car constructor and Le Mans 24-Hours racing driver.

After more than 30 years of ownership, Cunningham eventually sold the car to fellow American auto connoisseur Miles Collier, who placed the Kellner Coach up for auction in 1987. The car sold for a record £5.5 million at London's Royal Albert Hall before an audience of 4,000 enthusiasts. Now the present anonymous owner--believed to be Japanese--has commissioned Bonham & Brooks in London to offer the Bugatti Royale for resale to anyone willing to pay the asking price.

Trivia

The 1931 Royale had 36 inch rims / wheels. So big, they had to have tires made specially by Michelin. According to "The Automobile" by Cheetham, they were the largest ever fitted to a road car.
