Rare 1937 Bugatti
Wouldn’t you love to clean out your relative’s garage and found a rare 1937 Bugatti Type 57S Atalante? That’s what happened to relatives of Dr. Harold Carr, an orthopedic surgeon that was an “eccentric hoarder” according to his family. I found this story on yahoo.com.
The Bugatti is a rare two-seater that has been unused since 1960. There were only 17 made in 1937, and when it’s cleaned up and auctioned in Paris next month for approximately $4.3 million or at least 3 million pounds. That’s a good piece of garbage that the family found! I wish I could find something like that!
The Bugatti was a supercar (at the time) and ahead of its time by having the capability of going 130 mph, when most other cars topped out at 50 mph. What was particularly special about this Bugatti was that it was originally owned by Earl Howe, a British race car driver, and the car has its original equipment, so it can be restored.
This man also had a Aston Martin, that was sold, and a Jaguar sports car that was scrapped because it was in poor condition. Geez, I wonder what my relatives will find??? Maybe $10…….
