Post subject:  Transport of Bugatti's to races
How were the Bugatti's transported to the races? I have seen a couple of photo's of transporters. Were these used regularly, were they Bugatti property? And is there more information available? (car type, photos, etc)

First one:
Ernest Friderich transports 2 baby Bugattis on his Brescia truck. Is this a T13, 15 or 17? Chassis number???
Image

Second one:
A Chevrolet truck, with Bugatti logo on the side. Is there more info on the truck, is it a Bugatti Works Truck? and where is it going to? (Africa?). When was it used?
Image

Third one:
A very remarkable car. Looks a bit like the combi which is known from Mercedes (CMC even made a model from that combination:

This Hispano Suiza carries a T35 (so must be an early transporter, 1924 -1929).
Bodywork however looks like Bugatti, from a later period (Atlantic style doors).
Any more pictures, and an exact year?

Specialized transporters were not as common as today (the Mercedes of course is from the fifties).

Often cars just drove to the races, there are several accounts of this, otherwise on a regular flatbed truck or even by railway.

The truck with Bugatti logos that is hanging in the air is not a transporter for the race cars, it is the support truck, carrying parts, tools etcetera.

I do not have additional info on the Delahaye transporter.

Does somebody know it if Bugatti (Jean) had a Ford? Model T (Tin Lizzie) perhaps ? Does there exist a photo ?
Thanks

The "href" thing does not work on this board, at least not for me.

It's the breakdown truck of Arthur Legat (he was a garage owner) towing his T37A #37282, back from the Grand Prix des Frontières at Chimay 1936.
