Freaking WOW! :peace:

Read about Bugatti Atalante 57S chassis number 57502 here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bugatti_Type_57S_Atalante_(57502)

EDIT: I thought the guy in the pics might have been Dr. Harold Carr, but the number plate doesn't add up to his ownership era. It sure resembles Carr, but this may be Curzon himself or one of the interim owners. Regardless, Harold Carr bought this car in '55 then locked it up a few years later and it wasn't seen again until the liquidation of his estate in 2008.

This car was sold in as-is barn find condition at the Paris Retromobile auction in Feb. 2009. Hammer price was $4.4 million US.:eek:
