Recently Italian car model manufacturer ABC released new Bugatti model - land speed record car. But I have never seen the data on this record car yet in the reference books of Bugatti.
I'm very happy if anyone kindly advise me about this record car or the project story.

Hi gerrit and everyone !
I obtained the book, <From Milan to Molsheim> which you kindly advised. It is very wonderful and great book !
I saw the Jean's drawing sketch on page 429 which I have never seen before.
It is similar to the ABC Brianza's kit but different on some points, such as a vertical fin on tail, curved edge of the fender wings, double-raised body shape, and wide tread.
Bugatti record breaker model by HVD seems to be based on the drawing plan of page 689 of this book (same as the image of the top of this webpage).
It seems the ABC Brianza's model is the midst form between the drawings of page 429 and 689.
Dose anyone know the origin source of the ABC Brianza's model ?
Is there another drawing plan by Jean ?
Or did the designer of ABC just create the final shape of their model with his imagination being inspired by the sketch of page 429 ?
Please kindly let me know if you have any information about it.

I think also that Henny (HVD) have used the drawing of page. 689 and ABC has as an example used page. 429.
I do not have more information at present also.
Herman have, however, photograph `s where all three recordcars stand up, perhaps are possible Herman these places as an agreement.

I feel the developed idea on the drawing sketch of page 429 against the plan of page 689. They are on the same stream. But the model design of ABC Brianza seems to be on the different concept in my view.

It is indeed this way that ABC has the wings at the wheels for and behind increased.
Why ?......I don`t.
The model of HVD has been made,however,according to drawing what concerns the wings ,to see page:689.
