    for those who may want a classic bugatti but can't afford a real one- just make it by hand! that's what i did years ago and it has surfaced at the fantasy junction website in their inventory section....check it out...the only parts not hand fabricated are the sparkplugs,ignition wire , tires, tubes and ball bearings.

    i also restored the simca abarth on sale from a rolling shell many years ago.

    What model Bug did it replicate?

    Why not post a link or one or two pics?

    I am asking because I once seriously considered one of those Argentinian "near exact replica" type 35 cars, before deciding that I really wanted a Testarossa.

    Well, from that picture it would seem to look the part.

    Type 35, I would guess the B or C from the width of the wheels?

    My mistake, the 37 - 4 cylinder version of the S8 35.

    But at that price, well - another pipe dream, right up there with the James Coburn 275GTB4.

    You know some people are happy to collect bottle caps for a hobby.....

    This car is just mind-blowing! Just staggering the detail and workmanship.

    It is amazing to think that this car was a contemporary of the Model T Ford.

    Wonder if they would give me a $200K discount because my birthday is September 15th?

    Very Nice!

    Does it have any original parts?

    I recall a commentary at an auction a few years ago (possibly this car) that the car at auction while a replica, had more original parts than some "REAL" Bugattis LOL

    sweet! Very nice work, wish I was capable of something like that. I'm not though. Almost bought an alfa replica recently (like many bugatti replicas it had a vw engine)
