Hotel Portofino Series 3 Episode 5 2024: I'm trying to identify the two-seat cream-colored roadster with articulated (i.e. steerable) front-wheel fenders, driven in 1929 by the glamorous show-girl Claudine Pascal with hotel owner Bella Ainsworth as her passenger.

If you have a picture it could maybe quickly be identified

Thanks, but it appears only fleetingly in the film/video--in Episode 2 in fact, *not* Episode 5 (my mistake), initially at 17:35 through 18:16, and again at 31:04. The car resembles a Bugatti of that period, but with a slender winged badge on the grill rather than the red Bugatti marque.

Yes, that's the one--elusive! Could be a camera-ready composite re-created for the show, possibly. The appearances I cited show a good front view...
