Still having fun! This is a white-metal model with rubber tires and no plastic anywhere. Grand Prix is better known for scaled racing cars. Some filing was necessary, and it seems this Bugatti is not a common find.

I used to have several GPM kits David, only one remains.
I had an MG TC from Brian Harvey's Grand Prix range, and several others. No. 7600 was actually a transkit, consisting of a Solido 1976 Jaguar XJ12 painted in red with a set of white metal parts and decals, enabling one to make a replica of the fire response vehicle with Chubb fire equipment used at the Silverstone racetrack in the UK. Corgi Vanguards made an earlier version, and I am still hoping for the red S-Type.

It's actually a directional spray nozzle used in unique applications..
...such as power plant turbine bearing fire protection. Yes, I have a small collection of sprinklers too...
