Thanks for sorting my picture Herman.

Found it in a letter sent 25 years ago from Wolf Zeuner.

Is it the same car? Hard to tell. Scuttle has changed, and blue car has front brakes...

Dear Herman:

No, it is no the same car. The T13/R is chassis BC017 with the engine 758, ex-2386. I have a nearly identical photo which Zeuner sent to me as I had expressed some interest in a T13 at the time. According to the 2000 British Bugatti Register, the car went to Japan in 1991.

BC 017
A “replica” type 13 with “Brescia Course” bodywork and an engine numbered 758 from car 2386 assembled by Wolfgang Zeuner in the UK. It was issued with its UK BOC identity on 30th September, 1984. Around 1991 it was exported from UK to Japan. In 2006 the car was listed in “The Brescia Bugatti” in the ownership of M. Sakaguchi with an asterisk against its entry indicating that the information supplied by the then owner had been significantly changed by Bob King, the author.
