theduisbergkid Posted October 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 I think Riz has it, it is a museum piece, but it does kind of tick the boxes, although Baz's Ferrari is a stunner. I'm going to send Bonhams an email : "Dear Sir/Madam. I am very interested in your Bugatti Type 41 Royale , please advise your lowest price for the Bugatti Type 41 Royale and send more pictures of your Bugatti Type 41 Royale , I have funds available to transfer by Western Union and my friend will arrange immediate collection as I am currently in West Africa on an urgent business trip. Yours sincerely. Mr Stanley Umbongo [email protected] PS - I need the Bugatti Type 41 Royale , urgently and look forward to your response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
