Battut en Sarlat l'a vendu je crois a qqun bordelaise..

There was no Bugatti race this year it was just a pre war race.
nothing was as sad as the man on the rally telling me his car was a 1926 35T , i was genuinely unsure whether he had been sold a pup or knew it was a persang it had the motorboat magneto with a FH8 plate held on with an elastic band! it looked like a new ford that had just roled out of a US factory. (also had jons favorite gear trim embelishment)
I think the race entry was honest by comparison the cars were what they were I don’t think they tried to fool anyone the Alvis which came 3rd was awesome .

lt sounds like the one for sale at Monaco, that didn't sell?

Just looked on the Coys monaco thread it was indeed that same car on the rally, sad really either the new owner has been fleesed or the old owner is trying to convince anyone who will listen that its real very odd?
