Help Identify this T44 (or T40?)
Benny Graf-Saner is looking into the history of the car pictured here. According to a mail he recieved from Mister Nicolas Guhring (EBA member, owner of the picture), this Bugatti is not a Type 40, but 44713. The magazine "Automobilia", N° 62, page 39 has published this information.
Comment by Dick Ploeg: This is clearly a (cheaply?) rebodied Bugatti and it does seem to include (recycled?) body components of other cars. One item I can positively identify are the bonnet (hood) side grilles, which come from a Salmson S4 DA (1937/1938) or a late model S4 D.
One other observation: If indeed it is a type 44, then it appears to have its chassis shortened?
