Nice find!

January 07th, 2009

These are always good stories even though they happen during sad times.  You often hear about people finding rare art work in their families home when they pass away or even sometimes buying them at a garage/yard sale.  Here, a familly in England discovered one of the rarest and most expensive cars in the world in the garage of a recentlty deceased familly member.  The car, a 1937 Bugatti Type S Atalante is one of 17 made and is estimated as high as $8.5 million.  The car will be auctioned on February 7th as part of the Bonhams Auction at the Paris Expo if anybody is interested.

Bugatti is known for making beautiful cars, here is a 1937 Type S Atlantic

    i hope they will never regret selling it

    This ride looks more like an old-school Bentley from the times when my mom wasn’t yet born.
