Sometimes you really have to ask "why?"

WHY?:angel:

[Xul]

To be honest I don't even understand why you would want a real one, let alone a fake one. Looks like a 2 year old tried to draw a spaceship.

At least a real one goes VERY VERY fast and is technologically THE BEST car in existence, bar none.

This fake is based on some crap american family car.

Whilst 'Why' is a very valid question I think the answer to 'who' would be more amusing. I'd love to see the proud owner of one of these.

Not about VW "Bugattis" but the real ones.

Advice from a Bugattiste of long standing is, if you are considering purchase of a Bugatti, and you don't have personal knowledge of its authenticity and provenance, to treat all Bugattis as fakes until positively proven otherwise.

I'll keep that in mind for next time I buy one... :lol2:

There was a lovely old chap in the VSCC who purchased a "Supercharged Bugatti" from one of his world war two pilot chums, I asked him how much at the time "he was skint so I gave him 70quid" he said with a smile :)

I had a friend in the uk who built one up from various cars/bits, quite an achievement on his behalf as he got it accepted by the VSCC for racing ;)

The Bugatti Owners Club and the VSCC in the UK have a lot to answer for allowing cars to be built up from parts of various Type Numbers and replica parts and then accepting them as a Type XX. Types 40 (the Molsheim Morris Cowley) and 44 (the Molsheim Buick) were built in some numbers and not highly regarded. They were passenger, not sports cars and their sales paid the bills. However many parts/components were identical or close to those used in favoured Types so guess what happened. Use your imagination. To the embarassment of the clubs, at one UK event, three Bugattis allegedly of the same type turned up bearing the same chassis number as a result of the clubs acceptance practices. All three owners, of course, claimed theirs to be the genuine one.

I have been told that some clubs now accept the modern Argentinian replicas as a Bugatti. Nice pieces of workmanship as they are, they are not a real Bugatti.
