Most of the people are Bugatti owners , journalists , France television and staff from the Automobilemuseum Mühlhausen .For this day people from all over the world like US ,Australia..... . The Bugatti 1903 did runn the first time after maybe 105 years . The engine did runn with a trembler ignition system , and where can you get one like this today ? I got 11 original trembler coils in the USA .

Good Looking Engine!
Greetings Franzkait,

Nice engine!

Hey, when you called me on the telephone, you didn't tell me that you looked like my twin brother!

Best Regards, FOKKERJ
