97 years ago Bugatti was turning out supercharged sports cars... what? I just thought this was a car company that started in the 70s... The more you know.

Amazing! How did it look in person?

Exactly like the photos in the article. It’s how I recognised it. This is the only photo I took unfortunately

I think it looks better in your shot than the stock shots on the site. Great job!

Thanks. I just remembered, I noticed that the spare wheel was cast in one piece of aluminium with the brake drum. There was a steel liner in the drum. If you get a flat tyre you change the brakes as well which I haven’t seen before.
