an unknown car by Bugatti, but the firts with the Bugatti "egg shapped" radiator.
This car was driven bye E. Bugatti at the Prince henry race in 1910 and in photo in the first catalogue 1910.
The rear part of the body is probably the same as the 5 litre 473.

At least the part between the hood and the windscreen seems to have been improved.

Following Bugatti practice, the car or at least parts of them could have been "recycled"

Yes, I think so…
Probably Deutz frame and motor.
That car (Prince henry) can be seen dismantled on two photos taken in the first atelier near the "petit pur sang" in black. Sorry for my English…
