Let's Talk Cyclecars

That thing is beautiful!

 

I like it too, Fiat Topolino and Type 57 Buigatti somehow stuck in a blender and that popped out. Bob

 

enjoy!

 

=======================================

Bob,​

That little coupe is cute and and small – closer to Fiat Topolino than to any Bugatti, except maybe to less-known Type-68... Some years ago I saw that modern version of shown coupe at Genf-Auto-Salon (Geneva Auto Show) and it is quite small!

Here are more information and photos:

Some of us are fans of small classic coupes?

Attached are photos of similar design, named at internet as Bugatti T-68 – replica... But, it looks to me more as re-creation of one of Ettore's sketches made for T-68 in Paris, during occupation of France... As I know, only one prototype was made – in cabriolet version, not one coupe... But, maybe I am wrong?

Ciao,

It would be interesting to know the price,but I'm shure it would be shocking!

 

Complete runners go in the neighborhood of $90,000 to 125,000 USD

Bob,
Photo with excellent atmosphere!

According to my archive, that could be preserved "Old No. One" - prototype for the first real sport type MG?
It is based on Morris Cowley, known as "Bull-nose" - ordinary and boring touring chassis, similar base for many of the early MG autos...

Zoran,I agree.There is something about a good black and white photograph that the same image in color cannot duplicate.

 

... and, now something quite opposite: colour & colour & ... nice, small, vintage coupes: MG Airline:





After videos, some photos are attached!

Happy New Year to everybody!

"Amilcar the poor man’s Bugatti"
A very interesting article about Amilcar

Hello Rolf,​

Probably that any Amilcar was cheaper than any Bugatti, but not every Bugatti was faster than every of Amilcars?

Who knows - Jacques Henri Lartigue, known as Zissou was quite strange character and maybe didn't like to have over-valued and snobbish Bugatti? He was extravagant and wandering mind - very interested in all variants of motor sport, including just appearing aviation! As I know, at automobile races he was just spectator and photographer (except down-coast racing with friends), but was trying pioneer-era hang-gliding... Beside that, he made great collection of erotic photography - not shown here!

Ciao,
