http://www.bugattibuilder.com/photo/albums/userpics/10003/normal_43217%2520Uhlik%2520small~0.jpg Dear Mr.Bugam Referring to the Tadeusz Tabinsky story The Cord shaped body On this picture looks like the one I saw at the premisses of Mr.Tadeusz Tabinsky. At that moment the car was stored in a dark room but it had also a split window.Mr Tabinsky lived in a little village at the outskirts of Warshaw. Not in Krakow.After the war he has been a prominent member of the communist party and probably someone with a lot of influence in his country. He lived in an old large house together with his wife.He received us in a small room with only two old seats and an even older radio.He kept a lot of memorabilia. Among them pictures and parts from Mercedes on which he was very proud. He also kept a large collection model trains rail 1 from Marklin (locomotives).At his house he had stored away several porsche's. At the other place he kept a lot of cars -as mentioned -and motocycles-motocyclettes. Mr Tabinsky was at that point an old but vivid man, not large and very slim. You may say skinny He often walked with a small cane.He loved to talk about his cars and other collection pieces. Always he was very cautious and lucid. I believe because of his age, he was ambiguous about selling or keeping his jewels. Somewhere I must have pictures of him. When I find them I'll put them on the site. We visited Poland with humanitarian help and our conversation was in German and with the aid of a polish interpreter. Refering to the Bugatti with the cord body he spoke about a type 49.One of my companions who was more aware of cars told me that the cars he saw where very special.He was very intrigued by the bugatti with the special body, and also took a look at the large engine of the cord car. I'll try to contact him and see if he has more information about them. Tabinski promoted his trains which he was very eager to sell. Later on one of my friends bought some of them. All these visits took place at the end of the eighties and the very early ninetees. With friendly Regards Nelson
