Welcome to my website!

The idea for The Phantom Bugatti came to me over twenty years ago while working on the exhibition "Bugatti" at the Cleveland Museum of Art.

The beauty, grace and value of the nine cars displayed astonished me. I imagined inheriting one and how it might complicate my life.

This is a Bugatti Type 55 roadster, similar to the fictional one in this story. Its 3.7-liter engine was the largest for a Bugatti production car at the time. Jean Bugatti, son of founder Ettore, supervised its styling and engineering.

I'm a member of the American Bugatti Club, the UK's Bugatti Trust and the Auburn museum, whose staff were so graciously helpful.
