The Historic Grand Prix - the Old Lady Bugatti - 1925

This is the oldest car at the Historic Grand Prix.  She's a Bugatti 39 built in 1925.  I wonder why she has her entry number painted on rather than using the round sticker you see on the car alongside. Perhaps it's because her number plate is painted on too?

The neighbouring car, by the way - painted dark blue - is a Bugatti 37A built in 1926.
