highest bid on the T16 was €1,4 million

the T30/38 sold for €152,950

& i came down to 7 Bugatti's present
The T49 didn't have a plate at the usual places but found stamping #49405 on it
on a 35 the s/n looks like B041 ?? i took it through the other side that was standing open & just can't make out what it is, look at attachement

also present where #4637 & #38298
those are the only ones i can confirm

In their registers the UK BOC refers to BC 041 but the chassis plate it issued is stamped BC 41.

BC 041
A “replica” type 35B. On 18th May, 1988 UK restorer Ivan Dutton was issued with a chassis plate for the car by the UK BOC stamped BC 41. The car is referred to in BOC publications as a type 35B/R. The car was owned by New York enthusiast Jeffrey I. Vogel in the nineties. Referred to at that time as a type 35A (?). (Later owned by Pierre Feidt in France and given the registration 35 XC 67.
