    I sat in this car back when I was 14 or 15, and just found the photo. Does anyone know what type of bugatti it is? (or even if it is a real bugatti?)

    Thanks!

    I dont think thats a real bugatti, it looks like a Venturi and 355 mix.

    Looks like no true production Bugatti that I know of.
    Agree looks like kit/mod with Venturi/355 overtones.
    Anyone?

    NOT a Bugatti!!! Especially with RHD!!!

    Perhaps a DeTomaso Guara Barchetta ... but still it shouldn't look so awkward.

    Perhaps just a home-made one-off car.

    Agreed. The front is very 355-like. Sorta neat though.

    I'm thinking that it may be a Euorpean tuner type car. Just like someone would change the look of a Honda in the U.S.

    Don't bugatti's all have that horse shoe shaped nose or is that just certain ones?

    it seems to also have the f40 front with the 355 sides and also bits of the venturi.
