A rare Bugatti motor car, which has been parked in a garage gathering dust for nearly 50 years, is expected to fetch millions of pounds when it is auctioned next month

I have a 1/24th scale model of that car!! I started assembling it, but got too anal about it having to be perfect, and just quit working on it...
I've always loved Bugatti cars, especially the coupes, and touring cars.
The Atlantique[sp](not the "Atalante" as they call it in the article) was one of the most beautiful cars Bugatti ever did.
When Ettore built his first series of cars, one of his customers complained about the brakes not working very well for such a fast car(for the time period, early 1900's). Ettore's response?
"I build my cars to go fast....not to stop...".


Here's another '27 Bugatti, a boat-tail speedster, that was at a car show we did last summer....

Thanks for posting this, Larry!
