    1937 Bugatti Type 57S found in garage in England

    "A classic Bugatti car, which gathered dust in a Tyneside garage for almost 50 years, may fetch up to £3m ($4.35m) when it goes under the hammer."

    An unmolested 1937 Bugatti Type 57S Atalante, one of only 17 built, was discovered in a garage in the UK after gathering dust for almost 50 years. The estimated value? At least $4.35 million!


    You just never know what you're going to find in the garage!

          According the other article that was there before from BBC World News, there was also a classic Aston Martin and an E-Type Jaguar.

              It would be so hard to decide between selling that and keeping it. One the one hand, 4.5 million is a lot of fucking scratch. But on the other hand, from an enthusiast perspective, taking that to shows, driving it around and just saying you own it would be so amazing.

                    Damn, those old Type 57's were great looking cars. Ralph Lauren's 57SC Atlantic coupe made me start liking them. Supposedly this one is set to auction on 7 February.

                          I would absolutely, without a doubt, take the money. Even if it was only worth $100,000.

                            I would, too. But it would be really hard to sell something like that. That car is an epic piece of of automotive history.
