Bucciali TAV 12
Last car model from Bucciali / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bucciali TAV 12 (alternatively also 8-32 or Type 7) is the last model from the French car manufacturer Bucciali. Introduced in 1931, the TAV 12's history and characteristics are not fully understood.[2] Unusual for the time, it had front-wheel drive and sensational bodywork, the flat and long limousine version of which was also known as la flèche d'or ("the golden arrow"). The vehicle, of which only one is known, was dismantled into its individual parts before the outbreak of the Second World War. A collector had it rebuilt 40 years later.[3] Since the early 1990s, the TAV 12 has been ready to drive again and is shown at exhibitions from time to time.
