    This is far more difficult than trying to identify Ferraris! However, I do have a bit more practice with red cars than with blue.

    Uwe. While trying to identify cars that I have seen using the Bugatti Builder site I have noticed that lots of photographs are credited to someone who shares your first name. Are you the same people?

    T35 with registration SV 4798 at the Goodwood FoS in 1994. This car was unfortunately not in the entry list so I do not know the owner/driver. This car is also unidentified on Bugatti Builder.

    Uwe.

    I wanted to ask you about these BC numbers as I have found a few of them. At first I thought they identified replicas, then I thought they were just the file names for cars that were unidentified. Is there more to these numbers than I realised?

    the type 53 used to have the license plate of the type 54 (so the costs were saved), and thus the chassis number 54210 .... the car was scrapped by Jean Bugatti, and later rebuilt

    Ah! So the Bugatti world can be as murky as the Ferrari one, with changed identities and number plates to save on tax/import fees etc?

    I'd say that the Bugatti world is much murkier than the Ferrari world, and not just to avoid taxes and fees.

    These cars first needed to survive the Second World War in Europe. Cars were disassembled, parts scattered, and hidden. Some cars were damaged, and used major components from other cars.

    Others can speak better than I can, but originality is based on having some majority of major components like engine, axles, and gearbox intact.

    Ferrari history is better documented, and documented by more people.
