Rare 1937 Bugatti supercar found in English garage

In this undated image released by Bonhams, an extremely rare 1937 Bugatti Type 57S Atalante, is seen in a garage in Gosforth, England, where it was found by relatives after the death of the owner, an elderly doctor who last used it around 1960. The Bugatti, one of only 17 ever made, will be cleaned up and auctioned in Paris next month, experts believe it will fetch at least $4.3 million and possibly much more.

Man, if GM put out somethin... (Below threshold)
JLawson:

Man, if GM put out something that looked this sharp at an affordable price (and I'm sorry, the Prowler, although neat, wasn't a real value at $40k+) they could dig themselves out of the hole they're in pretty fast. Put 'em out at $20-25k, and it wouldn't matter they're not the fastest cars on the road, they'd be the neatest.

Of course by the time you add in the federally mandated bumpers, air bags, side impact protection, emission systems and the like, you'd have to pretty much eliminate the styling that makes it look so sharp...

Ah, well - you can dream, right?

Jay Leno actually has a tea... (Below threshold)

Jay Leno actually has a team that helps him find rare cars like this in the U.S. in some forsaken garage, and he even makes local stops in Portland, Oregon to a leather shop near my house for custom motorcycle wear made to order. My brother had a way cool bomber cap made there before.

But many future old gems might face the crusher if no one stops environmental laws that reward crushing old cars for environmental reasons.
