I agree that car looks awfully similar, but it's not exactly the same.  One site says it's the same car re-bodied by Bachmann but frankly I don't believe either my information of most of the information that's out there!

I was wrong to say it's not a Bugatti; the name I had for it is, I believe, the coachbuilder, but they did also market cars under their own name as a marque, hence the confusion.

So let's say it is a Bugatti T35 coupé but let's see if you can come up with what I have as its builder!

Locked for you to dig right into..

That is indeed what I was looking for.
It is described as such but that is something of an over-simplification as it's actually a Bugatti bodied by Elgé of Bordeaux.  I believe the same car was rebodied by Bachmann after only 3 or 4 years and in any later pictures of it it's always described as a Bugatti T35 Coupé.
The full story is on the 'Net and is quite easy to find once you have all the names, for those who are interested.
Well done!
