Joao Gois · August 11, 2009, 04:07:00 AM

guido66 · August 11, 2009, 04:36:59 AM

Corsica?

Arunas · August 11, 2009, 05:55:27 AM

Pourtout?

Joao Gois · August 11, 2009, 06:39:55 AM

Two more nopes!

And I'll give an extra point for who gives me the chassis number!

guido66 · August 11, 2009, 07:44:45 AM

antem? chassis nr 57200?

Joao Gois · August 11, 2009, 10:27:18 AM

Hahah! I see why you said that. But no...

(BTW, this is the chassis #57 200)

guido66 · August 11, 2009, 10:45:17 AM

Fernandez & Darrin #57359?

Joao Gois · August 11, 2009, 02:12:10 PM

Muahahahh, nope!

João · August 11, 2009, 03:05:29 PM

De Villars?

Joao Gois · August 12, 2009, 05:46:51 AM

Another nope!

João · August 12, 2009, 10:55:26 AM

This car exists today?

Joao Gois · August 12, 2009, 12:07:34 PM

Yes, it does!

João · August 12, 2009, 01:48:34 PM

Labourdette?

Joao Gois · August 12, 2009, 05:42:55 PM

Nope, not this one...

Arunas · August 13, 2009, 01:16:53 AM

L et M?

Joao Gois · 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.

João · August 13, 2009, 11:00:44 AM

1938 Bugatti T57 Atalante Coupé #57698? Owned by Nick Cage?

Joao Gois · 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.

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?

Joao Gois · 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!

João · August 13, 2009, 01:47:46 PM

Are you sure about the coachbuilder? .....I´m going crazy with this one!

Paul Nee??

Joao Gois · 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!

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?

João · October 12, 2009, 11:04:07 PM

Found.....Chassis number #57156

And the owner is Joseph Fine?? (There is a Fiennes..)

Joao Gois · 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!

Damn, 7 months!
