In a doctors will the family were left an old garage in Newcastle with wooden doors and a small padlock on it, no one had ever been in there for decades. They have now opened it up and found a 1937 Bugatti Type 57S Atalante one of the rarest cars in the world! The bank has valued it at £6 Million and at auction it could easily fetch higher than this.... if it does it will be the most expensive car ever sold at auction.
Only 17 were made and it was a supercar of its day being able to do 130MPH. I just feel for the relatives in a way who will have to pay more than £2 Million in inheritance tax, which, to raise they will either have to mortage or sell the car. But still, that is a damn amazing find!
