Brochure - Bugatti - You-You - 1946

博物馆级发现：传说中的1946年 BUGATTI“YOU-YOU”动力艇宣传册

Ultra-rare, exceptionally preserved testament to Bugatti's forgotten maritime heritage（极度稀有、完好如新的人类记忆，见证了布加迪被遗忘的航海遗产）

Presented for sale is one of the holy grails of automotive and industrial design history, worthy of Europe's most distinguished collections.

本次出售的是汽车与工业设计史上的圣物之一，堪称欧洲最杰出收藏的珍品之一。

This is not memorabilia of Molsheim's fabled automobiles, but the original 1946 promotional brochure for a product of Ettore Bugatti's maritime passion: the "You-You à Moteur" (The Motorised You-You).

这不是莫尔姆斯海姆传说中的豪华汽车纪念品，而是埃托雷·布加迪对海洋激情的原始宣传册，1946年的官方宣传资料："You-You à Moteur"（动力化 You-You）。

Believed to be one of only circa 50 copies ever printed—and with survivors in this immaculate condition being virtually non-existent—this brochure is far more than a collector's item; it is a time capsule from post-WWII Europe and a tangible manifesto of Bugatti's philosophy of quality.

相传仅印制约50份左右，且以如此完好无损的存世品几乎罕见；这本宣传册不仅仅是收藏品，它是二战后欧洲的时光胶囊，也是布加迪“质量至上”理念的有形宣言。

Why This Object is Unrivaled

这件物品为何独树一帜

Several key elements make this brochure an invaluable acquisition, particularly for discerning
German and European collectors:

几个核心要素使这本宣传册成为无价之宝，尤其对眼光独到的德国及欧洲收藏家而言：

Historical Context (1946): This document captures the Bugatti company's efforts to diversify and resume production at its "Chantiers Navals" (Shipyards) in Maisons-Laffitte, just before Ettore Bugatti's death in 1947. It is primary-source evidence of a rare, little-known chapter of the brand's post-war history.

历史背景（1946）：此文档记录了布加迪公司在梅松拉菲特的“Chantiers Navals”船坞进行多元化经营并恢复生产的努力，时间点正值埃托雷·布加迪于1947年去世之前。这是对品牌二战后罕为人知的一段历史的原始资料证据。

Absolute Rarity: The estimated print run of only 50 copies makes it one of the rarest pieces of Bugatti ephemera in existence. Most were lost to time or heavy wear.

绝对稀有：预计仅印制50份左右，使其成为布加迪相关轻便物件中最罕见之一。多数学品已随时间流逝或经受岁月磨损而流失。

Exceptional Condition: Despite being over 70 years old, the brochure's condition can only be described as "near-mint." The colours of the R. Géri illustrations are vibrant, the paper stock is pristine, and the folds are intact. This level of preservation meets museum archival standards.

状态异常出色：尽管已超过70年，该宣传册的状态仍可被形容为“近乎全新”。R. Géri 插画的色彩鲜明，纸张完好无损，折痕完整无缺。这种保存水平符合博物馆档案标准。

The "100% BUGATTI" Philosophy: The brochure emphasizes that these were no ordinary tenders. The phrases "Ensemble et détails construits par BUGATTI" (Completely built, including all details, by Bugatti) and the slogan "SÉCURITÉ, ÉLÉGANCE, FINI" (Safety, Elegance, Perfect Finish) underscore the translation of the brand's automotive perfectionism to the water.

“100% BUGATTI”理念：宣传册强调这些并非普通小艇。短语“Ensemble et détails construits par BUGATTI”（全部组装并包含所有细节，均由布加迪完成）以及口号“SÉCURITÉ, ÉLÉGANCE, FINI”（安全、优雅、完美表面）凸显了品牌对汽车完美主义在水上领域的延展。

Brochure Contents and Details

宣传册内容与细节

This multi-page, fold-out brochure is a masterpiece of technical and artistic communication:

这本多页、展开式宣传册是技术与美学传播的杰作：

Cover: A sophisticated illustration, signed by R. Géri, depicting elegant individuals enjoying a day on the water in their Bugatti boat.

封面：由R. Géri 签名的精致插图，描绘一群优雅人物在布加迪船上水上度日。

Technical Illustrations: Detailed plans showing the boat was offered in three sizes (2.8, 3.3, and 4 metres). The cutaway diagram, showing how the rear-mounted engine maximized interior space, is a lesson in design.

技术插图：详细图纸显示该艇提供三种规格（2.8、3.3、4米）。剖面图展示后置发动机如何最大化内部空间，这是设计课程。

The Engine: The Heartbeat: A dedicated section details the 4-stroke, 2 to 5 CV (HP) Bugatti engine that powered the craft. Features like magneto ignition and hand-crank or "inertia" starting ("Démarreur à inertie") are specified. This was an in-house Bugatti marine engine.

发动机：心跳：专节介绍驱动该艇的布加迪4冲程、2到5马力发动机。特征如磁电点火、手摇起动或“惯性”起动（"Démarreur à inertie"）等均有说明。这是布加迪自制的海用发动机。

Innovative Details: The brochure highlights clever engineering solutions, such as "membrures ajourées" (open-worked ribs to facilitate water drainage) and an "ancre à pattes articulées" (an articulated anchor that folds flat) to avoid encumbering passengers.

创新细节：宣传册突出巧妙的工程解决方案，如“membrures ajourées”（开孔肋条，以便排水）和“ancre à pattes articulées”（可折叠并平放的关节式锚），以避免妨碍乘客。

This is a historical document proving that Bugatti was not just about speed and luxury cars, but a true house of engineering and design.

这是一份历史文献，证明布加迪不仅关乎速度与豪华汽车，更是工程与设计的真正殿堂。

This piece is a "crown jewel" for the most prestigious Bugatti collections, European industrial design archives, maritime museums, or leading German automotive museums (such as the Cité de l'Automobile - Schlumpf Collection or institutions of similar calibre).

该件是最负盛名的布加迪收藏、欧洲工业设计档案、航海博物馆或德国顶尖汽车博物馆（如 Cité de l'Automobile - Schlumpf Collection 等同等级机构）收藏中的“皇冠珠宝”。

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a tangible piece of a nearly forgotten chapter in Bugatti's storied history.

这是一次千载难逢的机会，拥有布加迪久被遗忘的传奇历史中的一个切实存在的篇章。
