Bugatti T40
The Bugatti chassis and tubular body frame were put together by the owner in an attempt to replicate one of Bugatti's most iconic cars.
Using pictures of the original car and a scale picture, the details of the coach work were applied to the steel tubular frame. The guards were hand built using light weight bucks to assist with the shaping and to get both the N/S and O/S guards the same size and shape.
The Bugatti body work was completed in bare metal. The owner has now completed the paint work and the vehicles iconic horse drawn carriage handles and side lamps fitted to the Bugatti.
