TEAL OF THE WEEK No 35

 

 

 

 

Stuart Whitworth’s Teal Type 35 looked more like a Bugatti than many original Bugattis.  This was perhaps because of the well-patinated bodywork and the authentic-looking wheels which gave an air of originality to this Teal.  Stuart is also well patinated and an absolute original.  Stu tells the story that on a visit with his Teal to the marvellous Schlumpf Bugatti Museum in Alsace, he was waved into the ‘Bugattis Only’ car park, and staff of the museum came out to appraise this original running 1920s Bugatti Type 35.  After admiring many aspects of the Teal, a frown formed  on the forehead of one Bugatti expert.  He murmured to Stu in some confusion:   ‘I see you’ve modified the suspension considerably….’

Stuart’s unique Teal graced many Teal rallies over the past decade, including the Spider and Triangle runs, and  the 2008  Angouleme and Spain  trip.  Below this  fine Teal is seen at the head of a line of ten Teals in Chester, before we  headed off to Jodrell Bank, the Peak District  and Robin Hood’s Bay…

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sadly three years ago Stu’s Teal was sold to Germany for restoration and updating , and it’s current location is unknown; if any of our Continental friends have spotted it, do please let us know.
