Solved - MJW #999 - Ets. Michel Bigatti (coachbuilder)
« on: September 10, 2012, 03:07:28 PM »
One for the coachwork experts.....
This was an advert for a coachbuilder back in the 1920s (there's a clue already).
Name the company for one point.

No not that either.
As a clue it's two names - such as Gaston Grummer or James Young.....

Not that - remember the name is a forename and surname.

Time for a clue -  the forename starts with an 'M' and the surname with a 'B'

Michel is correct for the first name.
Not Boucard - it sounds more Italian than French....
