This BUGATTI 35 project has been coming along well and is actually a lot further forward that it looks but I have not uploaded the latest photos yet !



The 19" wheels with 19x600 cross-plys really suit it, although driving it will be a real struggle !!!.
The classic style hand brake was fairly simple to fit , once I had found one, but getting it to operate smoothly was a completely different story!!




I have now learnt to my cost that a Triumph 2500 gearbox will fit a Vitesse Mk1 engine but the clutch won't operate.
Having built the car's frame work around the engine and gearbox removing the offending gearbox is proving difficult to say the least

So, does any one have a Vitesse Mk1 gearbox for sale??
