[QUOTE="treynor, post: 16875633, member: 6214"] My Type 35B was built by Pur Sang last year in Argentina. It's [B]far[/B] less expensive than a car with a VIN plate dating back 100 years, and it's literally the same parts made with the same materials to the same spec... The story behind the 35Bs is pretty interesting actually. Pur Sang started decades ago making replacement parts for the original cars as they wore out or were damaged. Because the parts are made to Bugatti's original spec, using the same techniques and materials, pretty soon owners started replacing [I]all[/I] the parts on their cars and keeping the original parts in an attic etc. There were even cases where someone cut their car in half, rebuilt the missing halves, and sold both of them as original. After enough of these shenanigans, the Pur Sang guys looked around and realized that they ... had [B]all[/B] the parts -- just still being sold as parts. And they realized they could just put those parts together to make a car. The rest, as they say, is history. [/QUOTE]
