Ubb93 1949 Bugatti - type and bodywork still to be solved

[mekubb]

I have very little information about this car, just the make and a year. So 1 point if you have this right and an extra point if you can proof the model and coach builder

[targhediferro]

Jaguar xk 120 based?

[mekubb]

No Jaguar connection that I know off

[nicanary]

Early Turner ? They all had different bodywork.

I've changed my mind. That looks like a Continental hillclimb start - the car behind has what may be German plates. RHD could be British base or Italian. The car looks like a re-bodied pre-war model, especially with the high seating position. Alfa Romeo ?

[mekubb]

Not an Alfa. You may be right that the car is a re-bodied pre-war model, I have the same feeling. But I really don't know !

[nicanary]

Those wheels are huge - I reckon it could be vintage. Alvis ?

[mekubb]

Not an Alvis according to my source

[nicanary]

I'd better start again. Is the base car British ?

[mekubb]

Not British at all...

[nicanary]

Italian base car ?

[mekubb]

Not an Italian base

[nicanary]

If it's possibly pre-WW2 and not British or Italian, then maybe it's French ?

[mekubb]

French it is indeed....

[nicanary]

Talbot-Lago ?

[mekubb]

Not a Talbot-Lago

[nicanary]

Delage ?

[mekubb]

Not Delage either....

[nicanary]

It looks quite large, so there isn't much left. Delahaye ?

[mekubb]

Not a Delahaye sir....

[targhediferro]

Salmson?

[mekubb]

Not Salmson
