You are on to something - but then again, who wouldn't be with that radiator ;) - it's pretty unmistakable.

There's something special about this one, though. Keep guessing!

That is, of course, completely correct. A German Bugatti - who would have thought?

Well... Grobmotorix, apparently.

Some might remember that when Bugatti set up in Molsheim, Alsace was German!
Opinionated but sometimes wrong

And the first few Bugatti models were built at Deutz in Cologne, and that still is german, too...
