At a Devon country show yesterday among the worthy oldies parked in rows this Bugatti suddenly appeared.
I think it speaks for itself but there were rumours that we were looking at £400k worth of rare beauty. What do you think?
There's a lot of stuff about it on the web if you've got time for a google

Sure did. It had a 2010 Le Mans sticker on it too. In fact the only old vehicles I saw trailered to the ground were a couple of elderly tractors.

Amazing! So good to see classic cars still on the road and being driven. Classic Le Mans is a fantastic event to go to, always a bit gutting when they have mishaps though!

What year is it?

As far as I can tell it's a 1932 T51.

[MaxAndPaddy]

You'd have to drive it wearing a mad bomber hat and goggles wouldnt you

Could be, but I suspect it holds something in place that's been removed.
Drewsargent, what's the story of the one you saw?

[olds_kool_lews]

now thats a car! when cars actually were cars, and the engines were massive! reminds me of that youtube video "killed myself when i was young"

link if you want to watch it, from the pioneers of modern racing kool video, but as the title says, some people were injured in the making of this video (although no animals were hurt...allegedly )

Not too sure couldn't find any info about it, and didn;t see the owner about, it did have absolutly loads of race stickers in the inside of the car some very recent, was in mint condition thou
