Advertisement Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 Hi Dr. No, Take a look here Name this car..... I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
wlaidlaw Posted September 10, 2012 Share #4082 Posted September 10, 2012 Bugatti! Well done! Here is the whole car. It is a 1937 57SC Gangloff Coupé (one of 2 original SC's made, although many of the other 43 S models made, had superchargers added later). The S stands for surbaissé (lowered/underslung chassis) and the C for compresseur (supercharger). It was one of the cars on my bucket list to drive and I drove this one a couple of times last year. A little bit disappointing. It is supposed to have 200BHP from its supercharged 3.3 litre straight 8 DOHC engine. Well they must be shetland ponies rather than clydesdale shire horses. The 8C2600 Alfa with only 175BHP feels a lot quicker. The steering also loads up a lot in corners and I am not convinced that the front axle wedges don't need adjusting on this car, which alters the caster angle. I spoke to the person who looks after it and he says it makes it too nervous if you do that. Well I would rather have nervous than heavy steering. All Bugattis are nervous on the steering and the responsiveness is one of their joys. This one steers like a 4.3 Alvis Silver Eagle. It is a stunningly pretty car however and unlike most Bugattis, the brakes work well. Wilson Welcome, dear visitor!

a.j.z Posted September 10, 2012 Share #4083 Posted September 10, 2012 Nice car, but wasn't it iedei's turn? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted September 10, 2012 Share #4084 Posted September 10, 2012 Pardon, I have to moderate at this point: The unwritten but accepted rules of this thread say: The one who guessed the last (official) car right, can post the next car. Our forum friend "iedei" guessed the Alfa right, so it´s his turn, no matter if other forum members show what they had the opportunity to drive last year or have in their stable. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted September 12, 2012 Share #4097 Posted September 12, 2012 yeah, sad! i liked the madness of Gumpert! next! The UK equivalent of Gumpert, Caparo, went last week as well. Not a good week for mad cars. Luckily Ariel, Radical and Extreme seem to be doing well. Wilson Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
