Rare Bugatti


one of just a handful ever made - could fetch as much as six million pounds (S$12.5 million) when it is auctioned at the Retromobile car show and sale being organised by Bonhams in Paris in February.

Dr Harold Carr, a surgeon, apparently abandoned the rare Bugatti in his lock-up in northeastern Newcastle after buying it in the 1950s.

When the reclusive Carr died in 2007, his nephew found the Type 57S Atalante when he cleared out the garage and was amazed to learn that just 17 of the model were ever made.
