If it was , imagine that you probably could buy such a car for few thousand "equivalent euros" at this time though it's not my favourite Bugatti, it's a nice car -- Last edit: 2006-11-28 08:17:48

bref 2006-11-28 11:47	There is a picture of a faux cabriolet T55 in "Bugatti, sorcier de la mécanique". This one is even nicer , it seems to be lower... I think you are right with Type 55
sixcyl 2006-11-28 13:07	the pb is the body, all pictures of T55 I have are for "roadster" body, this one is rather a "cabrio" body or "coupé décapotable" sort of, with fixed windows (windscreen, lateral door windows)
bref 2006-11-28 13:24	Especially looking at the back of the car, I had the feelin that it is not a real convertible, more a "faux cabriolet" than a "découvrable"
