Name of Old Car Question?
Hi Guys
I have some white metal parts of a car model that Jim Waters was making (many years ago) and I cannot remember the name. It was a low slung car of maybe the thirties. It had a large bird/swan on the side of the engine compartment cover. The name was like Bugliatri or something. I think only a few were built. Not sure how far Jim got with the masters, but I have lot of rims/tires (see attached pic) and misc small pieces, may have a body somewhere. Any thoughts on the name so I can find a pic on the web.
Thanks

Bucciali, perhaps? Seems to fit your description.

Yes, Rick is correct based on your description. And yes a 1/43 scale model was made a couple of years ago although I cannot remember the manufacturer.

Definitely Bucciali. Both Ilario and Ixo have released models of this one-off.

Buc Rims and Tires
Thanks, yes the parts I have are for a Bucciali (sp) I could not remember the name of the car. I do not think the model was every finished, so may save a few rims and recycle the rest.
Thanks again for the info.
