On my way to another region I wanted to pay a visit to the Musée de l'automobile Henri Malartre just north of Lyon.
At the museum yard there was also settled a classic car restoration company: Le Baron Sellier. They are specialized in soft tops, upholstery and dashboard panels.
Inside the building I found this spectacular Bugatti.
But it's not a real vintage one but a very fine replica made by DeLaChapelle.
This car is equipped with a modern BMW engine and made under the latest European standards.
The original Bugatti Type 57 two-seater coupé decouvrable was baptized Atalante and was launched on the 1935 Salon de Paris.
It was designed by Jean Bugatti.
