Linferd and son in their Bugatti

The Bugatti Baby II, a limited-edition car made by Bicester Heritage-based car manufacturers The Little Car Company, has been at the centre of Dutch entrepreneur Linferd Huismans' relationship with his four year old son.

Linferd picks his son up every day after school and takes him for drives in their Pur Sang Bugatti Baby II down to Oberägeri Lake, Switzerland.

Trips to the lake have become a regular feature of Linferd and his son’s week, as they make their way to the lake to either explore or watch and feed the fish. 

Linferd commissioned his Bugatti Baby II from The Little Car Company with a number of personalised flourishes. The hand-formed aluminium bodywork is the result of 200 hours of craftsmanship.

When asked about his Bugatti, Linferd said: “When I pick my son up from playgroup, I’ll often ask, ‘do you want to go in the big race car or the small race car?’, and he’ll always say the small race car. So, we’ll both hop into the Bugatti Baby II and drive down to the lake and have an ice cream. We can spend an hour, half an hour, or sometimes lose track of time and spend the whole afternoon there.

“We share many days like this, and it’s also lovely to see the fascination of the other kids at his playgroup. They’ll often ask to sit in it, and I’ll see their parent’s face light up as we go for a spin.”

The Little Car Company hand builds the Bugatti Baby II at its Bicester factory, and the fully electrified reincarnation of the Type 35 Bugatti has been developed in collaboration with the French marque, with the Baby II’s solid silver Bugatti Macaron a symbol of its authenticity.

CEO of The Little Car Company, Ben Hedley, said: “For many of us, specific cars hold unbelievable sentimental value and are the centre of memories that stay with us for a lifetime. The cars we produce are no different and we are delighted to hear how Linferd and his son are enjoying their Bugatti Baby II in such a heart-warming way.  

“As well as the wonderful stories of how our clients across the globe are using their cars, and the memories they are creating with them, we never get tired of seeing how clients have personalised their Bugatti Baby II to suit their own tastes. Linferd’s story of his drives to the lake with his son in their beautifully commissioned Bugatti Baby II exemplifies what makes producing these incredible cars so special.”
