I saw this beaut of a car yesterday but I couldn't identify it. The owner was nowhere to be seen either so I couldn't ask them, so I thought I'd ask here for help on identifying it.

I fear it's probably a Teal replica of a Bugatti Type 35, like this one:

Seems the Czechs also make Bugatti replicas. This time they add fake exhausts and carb filters.

According to the ad it’s done a million miles. With a beetle engine and an auto box that is one heck of a masochistic owner!

Especially if we take into account the ad claims its a U.K. car that was up for sale in Nebraska and now resides in Tbilisi..!!

The full description in the ad says "mileage unknown" so they put 999,999 in the header.

Yep, I had the pleasure of looking over a 51 & a 44 at the WE and the elegant, uncompromising construction of those brings home the horror of something like this!

Never mind the fake Bugatti, just look at that Lada in the background! Phwooar.

There are surprisingly few Lada's on the road here but in Armenia they're everywhere. One of the biggest industries here is repairing smashed up cars, probably sourced from all over western Europe, so you see many cars driving around with missing body panels or smashed up front/back ends.

A few interesting ex-Soviet cars knocking around too....
