Another great pic Richard, those radial engines are amazing bits of kit.
Lorne was my Morgan mentor and very generous with his time too, even to the extent of sourcing my +8 and answering every silly question I could think of asking.. I am ever in his debt, as are no doubt many who take GoMoG for granted.
If patina is of great market value in France, then I guess the Bugatti owner could find someone with the knowledge of creating matching patina, in the same way that a paint perfectionist might do here..

I took quite a few pics of old race cars at the LM Classic, many of which wore their patina with pride and were obviously engaged in acquiring more as they sat in the pits resting and perspiring somewhat, as were we, given the very hot weather at the time of the event.
Seems many had mudguards fitted Richard, may have been to comply with some regulation..?
