Rare Classic Bugatti Find

Early January saw the discovery of an extremely rare classic car found in the UK. The family of Dr Harold Carr (apt name really!) inherited a lock up from their Uncle and prior to opening its doors they had no idea what was waiting for them.
The lock up contained a collection of classic cars including a Jaguar E-Type and an Aston Martin. However the car that could prove to be a life changing inheritance was a Bugatti Type 57s Atalante built in 1937. The car was one of only 17 built and could make millions at auction next month at the Retro-mobile show in Paris next month.
This particular car was delivered to Earl Howe on May 5, 1937. Earl Howe was the first president of the British racing Drivers’ Club and a winner of the 34 hour Le Mans. He held onto the car for eight years when it then changed hands a couple of times before Dr Carr purchased the car in 1955.
The car is in exceptional original condition with only 26,284 miles on the clock over 72 years! The Bugatti 57s is one of the classic cars for collectors with four of the seventeen models in the Musee National de l’Automobile with the rest in private collections.
If bidding reaches estimates, it is in the running to become the most expensive car sold at auction, matching the $8.7 million for a 1931 Bugatti Royale Kellner Coupe sold in 1987.
