EB ? Ettore Bugatti's boat?

Ettore Bugatti? Not this one! This EB is an 1920 Edouard Ballot (NOT Ernest; thank you Baron A. Labitte Montripier! see: Read More) car, with 2 litre engine. Made in Paris. It was displayed at the 25th Antwerp Classic Salon one week ago. The description tells us that it was raced in the 1922 Targa Florio by Desrose and Goux. Now, in perefect shape, it was awarded with the title 'Best of show 2001' at Fascination Cars, Nice. Well done. BUT!!! This is a car. Not a painting. A racing car that belongs to the famous racetracks. Goodwood, Brooklands and maybe soon the Autdromo Nacional in Spain. It should have a driver who can show us all the potential which is in this 2 litre motor. Why not bring it to Vintage Montlery 27/28 April?
