"There are just four sixteen-cylinder [classic] Bugattis in existence: two totally original cars in the French National Motor Museum, one built-up car with engine no. 4 in Germany, and this one. Its frame and body are both 'toolroom' replicas, a British term for an exact copy, built to original factory drawings and specifications. The engine is no. 5, the original Bugatti factory spare. All the other components -- the axles, gearbox, suspension, steering, and brakes -- are of original Bugatti manufacture." -- From "Bugatti: Reaching for Perfection," a wonderful book written by Lee Glazer of the Academy Art Museum of Easton.
