Bugatti Restorer Nets the Prestigious ‘Williams Trophy’ in Birthday Bugatti Drive.
Charles Knill-Jones channelled the power advantage that Nick Mason’s 1927 Bugatti Type 35B had over his rivals to win the ‘Williams Trophy Race’ at the VSCC’s Shuttleworth and Nuffield Trophies Race Meeting at Cadwell Park on Saturday.  Charles’s drive in the race was his 40th Birthday present from the car’s owner, Mason. Full of enthusiasm to take the glory in this year’s exceptional event which had drawn a record 17 Bugatti racers to Lincolnshire, Charles out-dragged his nearest rival, Geraint Owen in a similar machine, off the line and lead to the flag in a composed and precise style, un-twitched by the ever looming threat of Robert Spencer who finished second in a later 1939 Type 35B.
