Bugatti never did one like this, didn't he ?

Maybe in Bugatti's interpretation this is even a double tank ! :lol:

But why this Palestinian? flag??

If the Palestines fight the Israeli's with this, they loose easily!

Absolutely brilliant built!

It would not surprise me if an Ettore Bugatti Sketch will surface with exactly this design! :wink:

One small error though, where you can see that the design is not Bugatti's: the compartment has been armoured, except for the glass roof!

And of course the elephant, does he have a machine gun in his back-pack?

According to the list of types in the appendix of the book by Hucke and Kruta, the T65 was a study for a single cylinder engine. Is it not too big and heavy the T65 blue model to be powered by just a single cylinder engine? However, I cannot guess which other type it could be...

Thanks, Gerrit. I have found the drawings of this car and the Newsletter here:
http://www.bugattibuilder.com/photo/thu ... album=2347

http://www.bugattibuilder.com/photo/dis ... 2347&pos=2

It can be read on the drawing: 4 cylindres, 1.714 cc. Therefore, this is not a single cylinder project. It seems that there are doubts about which type this one is, therefore the book by Hucke and Kruta could finally be right.

I have also seen this drawing of a bus:

Does anyone know which type this one could be? Maybe the type 76? Could it be related to this truck?:

I have the model :wink:

It is according to me a slip-up, the lorry is T-76. (8-cylinder)
The T-75 is a rowboat, single cylinder, the you-you.
The model has been made by Dieter (dtd).

As far as the "egg", the bus and the truck; I believe non of them have type numbers.

The egg is a sketch by Jean, may have been for a small car competition that ran in France before the war.

The Bus and Truck are both drawings from patents.

Herman; this thread is shifting from "off topic" to "in topic". Maybe it should be moved??

interesting how an off topic item can become an on-topic item :wink:

and how a collection of Bugatti anomalies can become collected in one off-topic-topic

NICE !

have a good weekend!

I have opened two new threads to continue the discussion on the egg, the bus and the truck:
