Producer's notes:
Jack Lemon Burton owned, competed and dealt in practically every type of Bugatti. He is one of the rare Bugattists not only to possess one of the legendary Bugatti Royales but to use it on a regular basis.
Using his extraordinary collection of photograph albums and quiet sense of humour Jack takes us on an amusing journey through an unusual life; early childhood growing up in Kilburn, North London; the relationship with his generous and doting father; the huge live-steam garden railway; his introduction to Bugatti cars; motor racing at Brooklands; pre and post war amateur hill climbs and sprints.He was a founder member of the Bugatti Owners Club, and one of the biggest Bugatti dealers of the time.
A rare glimpse of the J Lemon Burton hand written stock book gives an insight into his long career, where many Bugattis in Britain were to pass through his hands.
The rare opportunity to interview this rather shy, modest and private man occured in 1989 whilst HG Conway and David Weguelin were filming for 'Bugatti by Conway'. Jack died in 1994 aged 83.
