The radiator filler is behind the cowl, but cowls are really unusual on Bugs. T29/30's but it doesn't look like this. The exhaust.... nah! Perrot brakes? Sorry, try again!

Most racing bugattis of that period had alloy wheels see: http://www.aarg.com.au/bugatti.jpg that may have studs. There are others that I don't know how they were fastened see: http://geektechnique.org/images/191.jpg

Count Zborowski brought it to Britain for racing on Brooklands. http://www.christies.com/LotFinder/lot_details.aspx?intObjectID=2470874 Link to "www.ahraf.com" http://www.supercars.net/cars/2000.html -- Last edit: 2010-09-21 20:07:24
