Dear Jean:
I visited the garage about 8 years ago. A few things were for sale, but not everything. The GP Bugattis all seemed to have the same chassis number for registration and tax purposes, but upon pointing this out, Mr. G., the owner, pulled up a seat cushion where the REAL chassis plate was affixed! There was a T23 with Lavocat et Marsaud coachwork, chassis 2152, the twin to my late father's chassis 2153...it was not for sale.
Cheers,
Sandy

hello

would be great to hear more about the cars from our two visitors. as far as I`m not really a specialist, I think the pictures show:
- three different bugatti racecars ( T35/37)
- two) bugatti T23
- one T4o fiarce coupe ( grey)
- one T44 roadsder
- one chassis ( T43??)
- one T 57
- one T49 cabriolett

the other cars are: four pre-WWI cars ( a large tourer, a coupe chauffeur, a milot
and a renault town car)
- a alfa romeo 175o
- talbot lago race car from about pre WWII ( T15oc??)
- a large renault from the 2o`s ( 4o VC ??)
- a ferrari sports car
anyone other ideas ??
regards

Dear Mike:

Mr. G was not particularly interested in sharing chassis numbers. I saw the 8 valve that Jean referred to, but it must be totally hidden by now as it was barely visible eight years ago. It was complete with original coachwork. I did not get the impression that the Alfa 1750 was a totally genuine car. A few of his cars were on loan to the nearby museum in Mougins, including a T50 which had lost its original engine to Ray Jones and was now fitted with a T46 engine. There was one T44 or T49 which had been in a front end collision and looked like it had been pulled out of a French scrapyard...and probably was.

Cheers,

Sandy
