The type 10 "Bathtub" or "Lobster" is easily identified with its low body sides and simple oblong rear mudguards which are horizontally aligned with the body sides.

The car is correctly identified in this site's photoalbums and on bugattiregister.com.

However, turn to page 530 of the "authoritative" Bugatti Magum and you see a picture of "The original Bugatti type 10 in Strasbourg in 1909 or 1910".

This caption is totally wrong - you only have to compare the picture with the three on the page opposite to see that.

The Bugatti Trust and "the world's leading Bugatti authority" have been unable to correctly identify the most significant car in the marque's history !

No worse surely than the left hand drive T35 in HGC's GP Bugatti book ? I told Hugh about this years ago but it is still a reversed image photo in the latest reprint.
