Some cars leave a paper trail; the Bugatti Type 19 left a name, a year — 1911 — and a place in Bugatti's list. What follows is what can be said with a source behind it.
Its place in the line
Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Ford Model T, the Fiat S74, the Renault 40CV — show what else the money bought that year. Nearby in the Bugatti catalogue sit the Bugatti 57 Galibier and the Bugatti 8-cylinder line.
What it costs now
MotorJury scores cars on the United States complaint and recall record, and the Bugatti Type 19 has none: too old, too rare, or never sold there. Its value today is a collector's question, decided by provenance and condition rather than by a class average.
The record
The open record for the Bugatti Type 19 carries no verified engine, output, weight or price yet. MotorJury does not fill gaps with guesses; this entry gives the model a home in the catalogue and grows as sourced specifications and photographs arrive. Corrections: corrections@motorjury.com.
