What you missed on the Sunday was Kjeld Jessen's Brescia, I don't know the chassis number, but I do know that it was originally a long wheel base, and was later shortened and fitted with the "Brescia" racing body. Chassis number is 2442.

Actually, the damage of the fire can be seen in the photo. On the hood, the last coupe of louvres both on the side and on top suffer some paint damage, and some corrosion, due to the fire. Luckily, Bugattis are right hand drive...

The reason the owner of the car is keeping these "wounds of the battle" is that it is part of the history of the car…
