French car, Italian body. (Upd. Type 30)

Stefano Paracchi is gearing up for our next 'Proper Cars, True Ladies' calendar. He sends this most charming shot of a girl showing off a well preserved Bugatti Type 30 with body by Schieppati, from Milano. As an interesting extra is that the car's  upholstery is made  in lizzard leather... The car was bought new in Palermo and now is with the third owner from new; one and the same family since 1932 or 33.
Stefano added: "The picture is a little present for The PreWarCar anniversary, I hope you like it!  Maybe we meet in Modena to visit The Righini collection!" 
Thank you very much Stefano! The only thing we still have to find out is, what kind of objects are to be found in Righini's  collection.

UPDATE by Stefano Paracchi: "I wrote an article about this Bugatti a long time ago in Ruote Classiche; the car is a Type 30. There is no doubt."
