Sandie ◊ 2020-12-19 21:50	Excalibur 35X? Or is that unlikely in the US?
Exiv96 ◊ 2020-12-19 21:56	Based on a VW Beetle chassis, perhaps ?
Animatronixx ◊ 2020-12-19 22:16	I'm afraid it is an Excalibur 35X. At least the layout of the dashboard incl. cheap-looking switches, mirror, spare tire, seatbacks, clumsy-looking convertible top cover, lamppost-style front bumper and the windshield frame are a good match. The center cap of the steering wheel appears to carry the Opel logo. Yellow headlighs suggest this car may have been a French native speaker. Our other one is here: You guys decide. I'm thoroughly disgusted now - what more can I ask for?
Sandie ◊ 2020-12-19 22:39	The French visitor idea pretty much answers my question, I doubted these European Excaliburs were sold in the US, but now it seems this one wasn't. Actually, looking again is that a Monaco number plate?
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2020-12-19 23:04	Wouldn’t the position of the steering wheel offer some sort of clue?
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2020-12-20 00:22	Apparently the first lhd Bugatti was built in or about 1991.
