German body on a French chassis, but not BNC.

FrontMan · September 16, 2020, 05:56:01 AM

RABAG-Bugatti type 22?

Wendax · September 16, 2020, 08:41:17 AM

My source just told me that it was a Bugatti 22, but I can't rule out that it might have been a Rabag-Bugatti.

FrontMan · September 16, 2020, 04:56:52 PM

Apparently this vehicle has survived! It became known as the "AVUSBUGATTI" after it had been clothed with this body by J.W. Utermohle of Koln.

Wendax · September 17, 2020, 05:32:18 AM

The surviving "Avusbugatti" surely has a different, much simpler bodywork. Maybe it is the same chassis. But you are right that the puzzle car is a Bugatti 22 with coachwork by Utermöhle. The Cologne branch of Utermöhle already went bankrupt in 1913, so this must have been done by the Hildesheim branch of Utermöhle.

FrontMan · September 17, 2020, 06:41:57 AM

....thanks for the clarification!

knewit · September 18, 2020, 02:19:11 AM

Never heard of that car or seen in action with this special body. Any ideas who drove that in her active times ?

Wendax · September 18, 2020, 03:08:15 AM

Unfortunately not. I just came across this picture in the sales ad for the "Avusbugatti" special.
