The Bugatti Trust Museum and Study Centre is an independent UK registered charity. The Bugatti Trust’s charitable aim is preserving and making available for study the works of Ettore Bugatti.

The Trust was created in 1987 by the late Hugh Graham Conway, with a small group of Bugatti enthusiast friends. H. G. Conway was an internationally acknowledged expert on Bugatti history and the leading Bugatti authority of his time. A distinguished design engineer, he is remembered for his work within the aeronautical industry and his contributions to the Design Council and the Decimal Currency Board.

The original archives of the Trust were donated from Hugh Conway’s remarkable collection of historic material and now include 27,000 technical drawings, over 10,000 photographs and thousands of historic documents.

The Prescott-based Museum and Study Centre building was funded after the sale of one of H. G. Conway’s Bugatti cars. It is the permanent home of the Bugatti Trust Archive Collection.

The Bugatti Trust was officially opened by HRH the Duke of Edinburgh on 16th March 1990.
