how would you like to stumble across this.?
Talk about cashing in, makes the SD Tempest found a while back seem like a Pinto.

Re: how would you like to stumble across this.?
That car looks to be in fantastic shape on the outside. By looking at the Bugatti poster/calendar on the shelf to the left and the plaque on the rafters above the car I would say that the good doctor was definitely a Bugatti fan.

Re: how would you like to stumble across this.?
Hard to imagine having a multimillion dollar Bugatti in "driver" condition!! I say take it out and run it hard, it's a blast!!
     actually with the non synchro trans there's no catching rubber between gears

Re: how would you like to stumble across this.?
Hmm, second one in two years!
http://jalopnik.com/cars/retro/greatest-...oupe-260775.php  This one sold for $825K at auction in found condition; sellers were expecting $300 - $400K. http://www.greatcarstv.com/news/barn...big-bucks.html

Re: how would you like to stumble across this.?
The latest car at the top of the thread is a 57S, the two tone car was a 57C. Both cars are Atalante models. The 57S is a factory supercharged car 1 of 17 built and is still not the top dog in Bugatti circles.
In the Bugatti world it's kinda like comparing the following: 57C = 307 Camaro 57S = L89 396 Camaro 57SC = ZL1 427 Camaro There were only three SC cars built. Thin air for sure, it will be interesting to see what the car brings in this economy.

Re: how would you like to stumble across this.?
I thought the auction listing said the supercharger was added later, and, it's not a factory "S" car. Doesn't that make a big difference?

Re: how would you like to stumble across this.?
Apparently the car was never really lost. Some in the know knew where the car was but were not at liberty to say.
