Having checked with the Bugatti Club, I can confirm that the Bugatti (Type 51, chassis no. 51145) shown in the photograph driven by John Sarginson; was the car that won the 1933 Monaco Grand Prix!
However; James is correct in as much that the car was sold to Frank Wall, who later used the registration number on a Type 37, presumably after the Type 51 was exported to America.
