Sadly no, I do not have an original copy; Barry Pook has one for sale at the moment, but I don't suppose you'll like his price any more than I do

Came across this whilst searching for the 'other' Spanish Coupe.
I think there is definitely a story in this as to why Ettore Bugatti's daughter rejected the car, and why her dad decided he'd give her an Austin in the first place. Perhaps someone could do some research in the 1920s Daily Mail archives...
