Nice! The car is running well?

Any plans to do Paris-Madrid with the car?

Udolahr · **Posted:** Sun Jun 30, 2013 12:27 pm

The car need to go to China to an exhibition (The Type 5 already was at an exhibition in Hong Kong ) . One presentation in Paris . And next year 230 years De Dietrich ceremony . And still a lot to do . Original the Type 5 has no fan , but the 60 liter water are hot after 5 minutes . I need a fan like the Type 4 .
And for sure , the car gets completed in the same workshop where Bugatti did build the first Type 5 . Bugattis Workshop is about 1000m from the De Dietrich castle .
The car has the right spirit , because it is made at the right location . And not in Argentina , Poland or elsewhere .

Plenty of people fitted radiator fans to T35s and T37s, so why not a T5?

electric fans ?
I already reduced the compression 10mm , so the engine is creating less heat

Yes, electric, with thermostat.

electric fan , sacrilegium

If it means you can enjoy your classic car more days of the year, why not...

I will make a test with an electric fan , to see how much air I need . I have to change many things , for example the valve springs are to soft . If I rev the engine up , the valves start to flutter

Udo, fantastic job, great car !

Kindly regards

I did not say that Poland is not good for Bugattis . But I change this sentence for you .
Not made in Argentina or Russia or elsewhere. :wink:
