I have to say this type of restoration leaves me cold. If I remember rightly there was very little of the original body left of this car. So it's now like a brand new car, essentially a replica Bugatti, albeit with an original (rebuilt) engine and chassis. It may go down well at Pebble Beach but it will have zero patina and no real character.
I prefer more sympathetic restoration.
