Make, model and year required for a point. Additional point can be earned if you can give proof about the coach builder (which I don't know)

A 1934 Type 57 Bugatti?

Almost right, it is slightly younger. So come up with the right year and the (easy) point is yours. Can you also give a clue about the coach builder ?

I'll try 1936. I don't know much about coach builders, or how to recognise their styles, sorry.

1935 Bugatti type 57 Stelvio Cabriolet by Gangloff. Body designed by Jean Bugatti but made by Gangloff, quite a few of these bodies were made, all very alike and difficult to tell which this one is, could be chassis 57197 or 57314
The one pictured bellow is 57103, the very first Stelvio presented at the 1933 Paris Salon.
Notice it even has the same rectangular cover on the front mudguard

Not 1936

1935 is right though. The car in the pic you sent looks very much the same I must agree, but my source mentions a different chassis no. , although it is with a question mark. I attach another pic from the alleged car, which was originally sold to a German customer. Locked for you to see if we can specify the car better

As all the Stelvio Cabriolets by Gangloff are very alike it's hard to tell them apart, now with the front view the puzzle car seems to be chassis 57309.

Sorry, missed your reply. Yes, according to my source it is #57309. Not sure if it is Gangloff, although it looks pretty much like it. So I will award you 1 point for identifying the car and I'll keep the 2nd point waiting for you if you can provide more proof that #57309 is indeed by Gangloff.
