We all know the Elephant of the radiators of the Royales. If you like it is a personal matter (I don't - the Hispano Suiza Stork is much better !)

But on other Bugatti's there is only a plain screw on cap or sometimes a Boyce Motometer.
On a racing or sporty Bugatti, the latter is al that is needed, imho.

But on a grand Tourer, a nice Lalique of some other Mascot / Ornament could be a nice addition.
Yet I have never seen one on such a Bugatti. Are there any ?

Please send photo's and let's discuss: should there be any other ornament than a Elephant or a Boyce Motometer on a Bugatti or are they better left plain....

Just found one, on this forum
with Hispano stork - but since it seems to have flown away.... :


also this T37 seems to have some kind of ornament:
Does anybody have a close-up ?

A monkey...

And there is the Bugatti type 57 with the (Royale) elephant on the hood.
