Because of that hesitation... Bugatti? (an Italian that started building cars in Molsheim, Germany, which was after WWI Molsheim, France.

The Type 57 was the chassis built in greater number... and in greater amount of body types, coachbuilders, engine setups... Which one is this one then?

Title: Re: Joao Gois #69
Post by: Joao Gois on August 13, 2009, 04:46:23 AM
No, no, not Letourner & Marchand...

I'm adding a (tiny) clue: it's owned by a quite known actor.
Title: Re: Joao Gois #69
Post by: João on August 13, 2009, 11:00:44 AM
1938 Bugatti T57 Atalante Coupé #57698? Owned by Nick Cage?
Title: Re: Joao Gois #69
Post by: Joao Gois on August 13, 2009, 11:47:18 AM
This is a roadster...  :-\

And that gorgeous coupé is no longer Nicholas Cage ownership. It's the dutch Jaap Braam Ruben property since 2007.  ;D

So nope (although I knew someone would bring up N. Cage to the asset)!

A question that hasn't been asked: where was the puzzle picture taken?
I'd say Argentina. What do you say?
Title: Re: Joao Gois #69
Post by: Joao Gois on August 13, 2009, 01:44:19 PM
I say I really doubt it. I actually don't know where the photo was taken but considering the car's history, I very much doubt it!
Title: Re: Joao Gois #69
Post by: João on August 13, 2009, 01:47:46 PM
Are you sure about the coachbuilder? .....I´m going crazy with this one! :D

Paul Nee??
Title: Re: Joao Gois #69
Post by: Joao Gois on August 13, 2009, 01:56:49 PM
Yes, exactly!!! It is the Bugatti Type 57 Paul Nee Cabriolet! One sweaty point for you, my friend!

My longer-lasting puzzle until now! 5 months!  :yeah:

Any guesses on the chassis number?

For a non-point question, does anyon know who's the (rather unusual...) famous "actor" who currently owns it?
Title: Re: Joao Gois #69
Post by: João on October 12, 2009, 11:04:07 PM
Found.....Chassis number #57156

And the owner is Joseph Fine?? (There is a Fiennes..)
Title: Re: Joao Gois #69
Post by: Joao Gois on October 13, 2009, 08:05:51 AM
Hahah! Yes, indeed it is the #57 156!! But the current owner isn't Joseph Fine. It's Charles Bronson since 2005! :lmao:

Damn, 7 months!
