Elderly Lord Fotheringham-Gardner's car illegally parked outside Windsor Chapel as he attends the Royal wedding. The Security Police are very suspicious of this wreck well used car and will probably blow it up later.

Bugatti Type 23, chassis number 231346. Built in 1922, first coachbuilt by Lavocat. Chassis bought by Lucien Cantin in 1935 and fitted with a body that was probably made between 1929 and 1933 (or between 1935 and 1939 according to another source, which makes more sense). Actual coachbuilder is unkown AFAIK. The body (with a shortened tail) was auctioned by Artcurial a few years ago.

A perfect answer. Sorry about my erroneous question, I didn't want to ask for the coachbuilder, but for Lucien Cantin who commissioned the bodywork.
