Sorry but V Derrington owned several Bugatti and this one is not a T57 !
Furthermore, I don't think that it is him who is responsible of the body !

Is it a type 43?
Please unlock it when I am wrong again.
It's as much fun to scare as to be scared

There are Bugatti bits, but not a Type 57.

On another site it was identified as bodywork by V. W. Derrington Ltd., Kingston-on-Thames, UK. But it's not for sure I guess. The car is the Bugatti T43, #43239 with T44 engine, formerly registered as GK17.

Merged

Thanks. So the advert described the car incorrectly as regards the engine/chassis.
