A new batch for the weekend.
As previously I'll only keep these in the Rookie section for a few days and in the Experts for a limited period of time.

So, to start - identify the make, model and year (easy) and the coachbuilder (more difficult) for a point.

Experts?

Is it perhaps a Bugatti?....and even a model 44?

It is a Bugatti but not a Type 44

Type 50?

Type 46?

woodinsight · « **Reply #6 on:** February 05, 2013, 10:38:58 AM »

Type 46 is correct.....and the coachbuilder?

French body ?

woodinsight · « **Reply #8 on:** February 05, 2013, 10:45:24 AM »

The body is French
Just to point out that I believe the body was built later than the chassis......

targhediferro · « **Reply #9 on:** February 05, 2013, 01:07:59 PM »

De Villiers?

woodinsight · « **Reply #10 on:** February 05, 2013, 01:47:47 PM »

Not De Villars.....

targhediferro · « **Reply #11 on:** February 05, 2013, 02:10:37 PM »

I never remember how French names are to be written.
I guess Ottin?

I know sometimes it's difficult!
Not Ottin though - even less known

I'll try 1932 Bugatti Type 46 by Letourneur & Marchand.

targhediferro · « **Reply #14 on:** February 05, 2013, 05:52:38 PM »

I try 1929 by Lavocat & Marsaud.

You are just a year out on the date of the chassis.....
Not by Letourneur & Marchand though

Not 1929 (it's a 1930s chassis) and the coachwork is not by Lavocat & Marsaud.
The coachbuilder is really quite obscure.....

targhediferro · « **Reply #17 on:** February 06, 2013, 06:15:39 AM »

Million-Guiet?

1933 is correct but not by Berluteau

Gallo of Paris, 1933?

Not Gallo (I've never heard of Gallo - maybe you meant Gallé, but it's not by them either)
