I confirm that it is same Bugatti.

Details on other photographs prove it and it is undeniable.

Gentlemen please!

Never mind the engine, what about the shape? Look at the depth of the chassis, especially just behind the front wheels. Wrong chassis or an illusion created by the heavy handed (and wrongly shaped) skirts? Nothing seems quite right, especially not the way the bottom of the tail curves up.

Is this the result of the badly made body or are their some serious discrepancies with the proportions? Especially the size of the cockpit cut-out as compared to the size and location of the rear wheel. The distance from the top of the scuttle to the rear axle seems strange, and I can't figure out if the entire bulkhead is too high, or just badly shaped.

What we have here is an ugly T37/35. How is this possible?
