Just checked back on what this Bugatti from a few months ago sold for at auction..

Pre Auction Estimate: €70,000 - 90,000

Sold: 260,500 Euros!!! ($368,300)

Buyer was Peter Mullin of The Mullin Automotive Museum who plans on leaving the car unrestored and displaying the remains in their museum as it left the lake..
