Beautiful, beautiful car- shame it was really a BMW! How could the Germans produce something so....sensuous?

I couldn't figure it out in my head so I did a quick google and found this previous discussion - Quite a well know car it seems

Yip, I'd agree with that, must admit I think a full weekend would do it justice rather than the day we spent there. Excellent event

The Bristol....incredible!
Designed 50 years ago?
Looks like it's from our future, somehow.
Magnificent!

Looks like a Morgan. I wonder where they got their idea from? The type hamster had his last accident in.

Exactly - they are both Bugatti copies! Just 50 years apart from each other. My mate had a hand in 'advising' Morgan on the design - but steadfastly refuses to accept it's a Bugatti Atalanta copy!!<br>

Cant blame Morgan for that especially being an english company and you when consider that Bugatti was built by an Italian in France and in an area that was originally in part of Germany, I suppose it was the first Euro car.
