A beauty in a sad state.

For one point, please respond and identify this car as well as the coachbuilder.

Yes, that's the same car, a Bugatti with Uhlik body. Locked for you to find the model designation of the chassis used.

Yes, it is. Another point for you.  :thumbsup:

The body has been taken off the original chassis when this received a new "original" body as can be seen below. The Uhlik body waits to be transferred to another Bugatti chassis.
