Just the thing for the coming spring and a nice companion....
There is one full point for naming the manufacturer, type, coachbuilder and year of construction.

Wrong! It's a Bugatti, but what model and who gave the body such a beautiful dress?

Nah, it's by VanVooren.  I think it's the one that was just auctioned by Sotheby's.  Year 1937.

Yes, it is a T57S by VanVooren. I have two sources that mention 1939. But these two and the Sotheby's car have the same registration number. So there is the point.

1939 is when it was registered in the UK. Bugatti had stopped making them in 1938. A beautiful car.
