This can't be the Bugati it claims to be:

You know, it's not that bad (for a replica).
The skinny tires. solid axle and rhd look better than what I see on other Bugatti replicas.
I have no idea what that motor is, but the homemade intake manifold with the single SU is interesting.

What am I missing here?
Quoted ad:
"Vehicle Description:
Wire wheels and good tires . Alot of power from this 4 cyclinder ,dual carb motor everything is tight and correct. A true blast to drive.. Call for more info"
I'm seein' ONE SU to a split intake... Other one must be bolted onna dash?
EDIT: Nevermind... I see it.

Yeah - the second carb is hard to see.
Solid dropped front axle. The engine appears to have a hole where a starter would usually be. My guess - likely wrong - is a converted midget (not MG, the other type of midget) or 3/4 midget.
The engine looks familar (you can see the valve cover) but I can't place it. TR-3 dash center section?

The exhaust mainfold looks like a four cylinder TR manifold and am betting its a the whole engine is. It is certainly not a Bugatti four cylinder. One of the nations premier Bugatti restoration shops is just down the road from me so I get to see plenty of examples.

Definatly a standard triumph motor. No starter or generator, TR3 instrument panal, good possibility it's a TR3 rear axle as well, I'm guessin' MGTC wheels? kinda cheesy windscreen.
But think of the blast you could have in that, buyin it cheap, runnin the heck outta it, knowing that 95% of the people out there don't know the difference.
The boat licence sticker "Bugatti" on the dash has gotta go, that's redneck.
