Fellow members,

Here is a postcard which shows one of the Bugatti Type 32 "Tanks" which competed at the 1923 Tours GP. Who was the driver and mechanic of this car?

I understand that Musée de l'Auto believe they have the Pierre Marco car #4057 while author on many things Bugatti Pierre Dumont (see linked page 22) page believes the car at Mulhouse is the repaired #4061 which was crashed in the race at Tours by De Vizcaya after he crashed #4058 in practice.

 

Does anyone have any evidence to advance either theory ?

I presume there is a picture but I cannot see one.

What has changed to stop it appearing for me?

If I click on it, all I get is an invitation to sign up to Imageshack

It was posted over seven years ago, so Imageshack will have deleted it, as they have done with a number of photos posted here over the years. Perhaps Graham might be persuaded to repost it?

That's the trouble with the remote hosting - it is out of our control and seven years is not a lot in this forum, if I may say so!
