Lovely. A piece of automotive sculpture.
Looks to me like the work of Parisien coach-builders Figoni et Falaschi (sometimes unkindly nicknamed Phoney and flashy).

And I think the chap nearest with his back to you is the BOC Chairman, Charles Trevelyan. His mother, Prudence Fawcett, was the first to compete in a Morgan at Le Mans (pre-WW2).

It is a relatively recently built car in the phoney and flashy style, if I can remember the builder I’ll post again!

After viewing the full size photo I realise that is not the BOC chairman...

And I think the chap nearest with his back to you is the BOC Chairman, Charles Trevelyan. With that name, I'd advise him to steer clear of Ireland.

The Bugatti was a replica of the Shah of Iran’s type 57 restored and built by Ivan Dutton once of Morgan three wheeler fame.
