Enjoying this thread. Thanks for posting.
Three+ decades ago, my fellow boss had his type 35A parked in front of my desk. The real deal. Among his many rare and eclectic collection, he did take this one and participated in the modern era Mille Millia historic event. Always a treat to see such and even though some of it, for its era lacked. Recall he told me the 35A was considered the 'boy racer' model.
Then a few years later, by accident was curious of a rambshackle appearance building, though did see enough outside that it was something to do with old cars. Gate was open one day and made a visit. Four different Bugatti in various state of condition.
(ps. Don't ask or pm requesting location.)
Its a bikey forum, so carry on with that. bye
