Hello! I have a question to you all about T32(suspension). Photos of bodywork on this forum inspiration my. This photo: http://www.bugattibuilder.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=347 is just like from space (if you know what I mean) In this topic(http://www.bugattibuilder.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=347) User "twofoot" said: "built for a reasonable sum of money" It is a problem to "talk about it" but the engine could be M110. If you can't afford a Bugatti so maybe a Mercedes(engine)? Anyway, this is a good engine to use for reasonable sum of money(in Poland) Marek |

Hello Marek, Tell me, what are your plans. I see a type 32 (obviously) but also another car in the background. This is a scale model. What size? 1:10? What material are you using? Some sort of modelling clay? Perhaps the rear of the car should be a bit higher/rounder. (perhaps I am wrong...) Best regards, Herman |

Oh, and about the engine: It is a DOHC engine. Perhaps a bit too powerful, but could be suitable. The type 32 has only about 70 HP or so. |

Hello! I'm interesed in race cars from '20 and '30. I don't think that I can have one so I want to build it. This is a models in plasticine I'am trying to find a good scale for that. I'm still working on ths models. Model on a background hasn't got any brand name. T32 is a small car wheel gauge is a 105cm and a wheelbase (almost) 2m. I think that I can change the dimensions of this car to make it bigger but keep the proportion to make it safer on a road. Engine M110 it is not a choice but just a one think but I don't know diffrent straight in-line engine. A mystery (for my) is suspension in T32 I know that it can be like in T30. From photos on forum I can't see this. I am lookin at work of "William Kelsey" and congratulations for him about technical. I idea is to make a car on a base of a modern unit in a style of '20 and '30. I think that T32 enchantment my. Marek |

Dear Marek Just a quick note to wish you the best of luck with your project. I truly admire those with the talent to build their own Bugattis. I hope you will keep us informed of your progress, I certainly enjoy William Kelsey's regular updates. Speaking of which, I hope that Twofoot (genius name) will let us know how things are going with his "little tank". I have always wondered if the Austin engine he was planning on using would have sufficient power and, perhaps even more importantly, torque. How much weight does that stream-lined body add? It certainly looks rather heavy. It's weird isn't it, I fell in love with Bugattis for their unique beauty, but it is the gorgon T53 racer which intrigue me more and more. I have always considered the T57G a very beautiful car, but the T32's lack of success inspired the Ettore to build the T35. Not a bad claim to fame at all. American Bugattiste, Bob Sutherland (alas, now with God) had a replica T32 built, and one year at the Monterey Races his car was joined by Phillipe Moch's (did I spell his surname correctly?) inspired Voisin streamliner recreation and the sight of these two great enthusiasts thoroughly enjoying themselves was simply wonderful. That is the one incontestable advantage of a replica - they can be enjoyed guilt free. I love highly original cars, but I am not sure I would want the responsibility of preserving one. I prefer books, they require neither a service nor a rebuild, well, not yet anyway. To all the talented craftsmen labouring so diligently to realise their dreams, I wish you strength, I wish you determination and when it is all done, I wish you great joy. Johan Buchner |
