Bugatti Fugatsi

Description

For your viewing and bidding pleasure is this excellent Bugatti replica. Its Vw powered and is built on a shortened Vw frame.
I took a lot of time sorting out this car to make sure all details were correctly done.
The car sits on Model A wheels with spinners. I custom designed and built the front valence to accommodate the Model A hand crank starter, Marchal driving lights and the horn trumpets.
There are also remote controlled Bugatti projector lights on both sides of the car. There is also interior courtesy lighting inside the car. Controlled with a switch or a remote.
I found a rare vintage mascot "flying lady" to adorn the Model T dog bone radiator handle on the front of the car
I designed and had a shop custom build the exhaust header to look like it runs from front to the rear of the car. I happen to have a Clenet Roadster from which I copied the design.
This car is extremely fast due to its light weight. That, combined with its great looks, make every trip an experience!

I didnt mention that the tail lights are new old stock from a early 60's triumph. The fender stand offs were custom made to accomodate the lights. They look amazing! there are no turn signals on the car. I chose to leave them off, and I resort to hand signaling if the local constabulary is around.

I tried to incorporate as much French detail on this Bugatti replica as possible. Since after all, Bugattis were made in France. To this end there are Marchal driving lights and Marchal like head lights. There is also a super rare1920's era French Saint Christophe badge on the dash above the ignition switch. Bugatti badging can be found on the dash and on the front of the radiator. Perhaps best of all is the caution /warning sign on the bonnet opening that reads"DANGER: MADE IN FRANCE"
I will post some additional pics to show these details.

Many viewers have asked about the exhaust header. It is NOT just bolted to to the side of the bonnet. Instead, it actually runs through the side of the car, giving the appearance of actually being connected to an engine inside. Interesting historical note: True Bugattis of this era were 2 liter eight cylnder cars in a straight 8 configuration. I gave a lot of thought to making an eight cylnder header in a smaller diameter, but the lage 4 cylnder looked a lot better to my eye. Maybe the next one I build will be differernt. Thanks for so many questions about this detail.
