Solved - MJW #1108 - Bugatti Type 46 Cabriolet by Dolce 1931/33?

[woodinsight]

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.

[woodinsight]

Experts?

[targhediferro]

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

It is a Bugatti but not a Type 44

[nicanary]

Type 50?

[targhediferro]

Type 46?

[woodinsight]

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

[mekubb]

French body ?

[woodinsight]

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

[targhediferro]

De Villiers?

[woodinsight]

Not De Villars.....

[targhediferro]

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]

I try 1929 by Lavocat & Marsaud.

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

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

[woodinsight]

I try 1929 by Lavocat & Marsaud.

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

[targhediferro]

Million-Guiet?

[woodinsight]

Million-Guiet?

No - not obscure enough!

[targhediferro]

Visse et Haf?

[4popoid]

1933 Bugatti Type 46 by Berluteau?

[woodinsight]

Visse et Haf?

Not by Visse et Haf.....

[woodinsight]

1933 Bugatti Type 46 by Berluteau?

1933 is correct but not by Berluteau

[targhediferro]

Gallo of Paris, 1933?

[woodinsight]

Gallo of Paris, 1933?

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