Well done Arunas, another point for you!

This must be the unlikeliest car ever to wear the Bugatti horseshoe grille. The O.T.I. 125 - sometimes referred to as the Villeple - was to be built at the old Bugatti factory in Molsheim and so the manufacturer reasoned it deserved a Bugatti-style horseshoe grille.

was to be built at the old Bugatti factory in Molsheim

Are you sure? At the The Bugatti Page i found this:
Quote
With the onset of the second World War Bugatti left Molsheim and moved to a factory in Bordeaux, after the war Ettore Bugatti returned to the Molsheim factory, while during the war the machinery which had been shipped from Molsheim to Bordeaux was shipped back to Molsheim.

In 1959 this Bordeaux factory was opened up and it produced the 3-wheeled OTI. As the vehicle was made in the old Bugatti works it featured the famous Bugatti front grille. A one off, the vehicle was powered by a 125cc engine and featured an aluminium body.
