    Fair enough. I have no idea about these cars, and it’s not my “spot” but apparently this is a Type 37A.
    Of course, it’s more likely to be a Type 37A replica... :p

    Pursang will make you any tipo you want. There is also the issues of "real" cars that were built up from a handful of spare parts, where 90% of the car is recreated. Bugs have always been worth a lot of money, so the recreation industry is well established, particularly in the UK. Things that were unique to Bugatti, such as the hollow front axle, are now available off the shelf.

    Of course, all the owners of the recreations will swear that their car is real. Old racing cars are a particular minefield because they were crashed and rebuilt so many times in period.

    here's a typical example, might even be the same car with a retrim: https://www.sothebysaustralia.com.au/list/PRIVATETREATY2/1#

    "The total rebuild, assembled on a replica Sala/Larsen chassis, included new engine block, pistons, valves, gear box components, cooling and exhaust systems"

    What bits are actually real? The wheels, instruments, etc usually get taken from much less valuable cars of the period.

    I've always loved the wheels on the old Lambos and lime green is such an iconic colour for Miuras
