Bugatti Type 40 Bourak-de Costier
|
This Bugatti Type 40, which won the 'Best French Car' award at Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in 2005...
|
|
...was bodied by Bourak-de Costier at the first owner's
request in such an overtly Voisin-like style that it's often described
as an Issy product...
|
|
until the famous horseshoe radiator comes into view.
|
|
If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, it's a very flattering car...
|
|
It even has the 'Poiret' interior fabric found on many Voisins, and the rear lights are blatant copies of the minimalist design patented by Gabriel Voisin. | |
