Size doesn't matter at Pebble Beach? (Upd. where is the Bucciali after Peter Ministrelli?)


"Dear Sirs; I am in love with your website. I have competed in the quiz game when time permits, my new life's goal is to one day win a quiz! I thought since you all seem to have a sense of humor I would share with you my favorite photos from the 2012 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. As you may know this year celebrated the makes of F.I.A.T., Mercer, German motorcycles, Maharajah cars & the coachwork of Saoutchik . Knowing that many Saoutchik automobiles would be on display I carried in my purse to this event a 1:43 scale model of the Bucciali TAV 8-32 Saoutchik. Hoping that it would be pulled out from the depths of the Blackhawk Collection in Danville California, and put on display at the Concour this year. My plan was to photograph the model next to the actual car (which I am sure we have all wanted to do at some point). Unfortunately to my dismay the car was not to be found at the concours, so I did the next best thing; I place the car in the appropriate class. I hope you enjoy these images as much I enjoyed taking them!"

Sold thru Christies 1999 to the UK where it was re - restored by Milton Keynes and then sold thru Simon Kidston 3 - 4 years ago. With an interesting notice that the chassis may not be a Bucciali ?. Dont know where it is since then

The Car was owned by Peter Ministrelli, of Bloomfield Hills Michigan, when it was shown at Pebble Beach. He has since sold the car to an unknown buy.

I wonder if the car is still part of the Blackhawk Collection? Because i believe to remember, that this car was sold by Simon Kidston ( http://www.kidston.com ) some time ago. Does anybody know something about it?

Did n't the car leave the Blackhawk collection ages ago? For S. of France and then again to a new buyer?

Only Verity could pull this off - her knowledge of truly exceptional classics is beyond reproach. Brilliant photos from an amazing gal!
