No, sei cilindri, that is out of my budget, I had a Rivolta, back in '75 or '76 with the Chrysler V8 - bought it for 6000 fl - never assumed those high prices of today.
My sister mailed me (from France) that they have dicovered a Bugatti 56 not far away from her farm and that they have sold it for an amazing euro 300.000 - if I may believe her (which I don't usualy).

Anybody knows more of this??

Were there built more than one? Or is it a typo (56-->57)

I have the strange feeling that I know d'Artois from something (other than the movie...)

Yes, there were at least 3, maybe as much as 7 or more. Ettore had one, of course, as well as the King of Belgium (I believe) and several others. I have somewhere in my mind that there were 3 known to exist (now 4?)

I heard that there may have been as many as 10, T56's that is.

Turns out that the T56 in this post is just an error, was a T57.
