Thank you for sharing this very educational photo with us,Just a quick look reveals the following,The exhausts are quite dreadful and are the first PS parts that I ever saw at Beaulieu many years ago.They have copied an original with many welded repairs rather than the beautiful elegant original,The brass screw in the water pump should not be domed,the water pump greaser should not have a brass cap but steel.The oil pump is quite extraordinary,the ball and spring for the starting handle should not have a square headed bolt,I cannot see evidence of the pins that should lock the idler gear shafts in the blower drive,the breathers look very odd,are they steel fabrications? the oil filter could be a necessary evil,but evil it is.the bolts on the oil feeds to the front timing cover should be hexagonal not square,should not the bronze housing on the front have 5mm studs and nuts and not bolts? the nuts on the blower drive coupling should be castle with splitpins.This is at first glance,but an expert could no doubt find much more.What makes a Bugatti ? Does it matter where it is made? probably not,but a Bugatti is HOW it is made.This is not HOW it is made.

John, as I said already, Anadon does not even try to make replicas he produces "look-a-lïkes".

Ive read a road test of an argentinian T35 sometime ago in "the automobile". It read quite good for it, so a drive in it can`t be terrible or pared with enourmerous costs. I think it`s better for people, who can`t effort a real GP-bug , to buy an argentinian one for much less money ,than to buy one of those "bitsas" ;made all over the world during the last 6o years with faked numbers and wrong authentity.
not many in the world have the chance/luck like you john, beeing able to make a passion to profession for lifetime.

PS: john, there are a lot of other original steamers left, predating the 1888 marcus:
de dions, amedee bollees, borodinos etc. the marcus was never restored and made only driveable in the early 5o`s , but it`s heavy motor made further driving atempts
too much a risk for the wooden chassis.

Replicas by Crosthwaite & Gardner and by Ivan Dutton Ltd. are made according to the original Bugatti specifications and that is why their replicas get the chassis number plates assigned by the Bugatti Owners' Club (BC XXX). Argentinian Pur Sang replicas do not fulfill the British Owners' Club standards and cannot have those BOC chassis plates. That makes a big difference.

Why not building this 35 in Europa , for example in the Elsass . But something is going right now . There is a possibility for new 35 made in Molsheim in the future . Not " look likes " , real Bugattis with the Bugatti Soul .

Lanos , it has nothing to do with Volkswagen . The money is from an English Investor to build (asemble) the 35 in Molsheim .
