    I was reading about this old story about a beautiful coupe.

    It's convoluted but the car started out as a race car,'

    then the race car chassis was rebodied as a coupe.

    Then the coupe body went to a replica chassis.

    While J.B. Nethercutt purchased the orignal Type 51 original chassis #51133 from Gene Cesari and put a race car body on it again. I was wondering about what year that was and was it published in any Bugatti site what price was paid?

    The story has a happy ending with the coupe body reunited with its original chassis.

    Since the coupe body was done in France in more or less the same time period, 1930s, I think it is considered original car though it was race car before that. What do the concours judges say about that?
