Bugatti is a
Type 51A and it came out of Australia. The wheels were not correct to
that model and later were traded for the proper cast alloy wheels.
Bugatti automobiles are not referred to by year.
The Bugatti belonged to Ian (Al) Crundall who has since sold
it, probably to the Schlumpf collection in France.
