Aerotech Helps Solve Bugatti Mystery
Published Sunday 15 May 2011 | 
In May 2011 a client of ours brought to us a 1926 Bugatti 35 looking for assistance in identifying its origin. The customer had spent a lot of time and expense lovingly restoring the Bugatti to its former glories but important questions remained. Exactly which Bugatti 35 was this and where did it come from? Over the years the identification plate had been damaged and worn, using x-radiography it was possible to gain more information. The true history of this car will hopefully increase the value even further leaving a very happy and proud owner.
