What's in your garage??????
Rare 1937 Bugatti Type 57S Atalante found in garage in England From article on MSN: Only 17 were ever made, and when it's cleaned up and auctioned in Paris next month, experts believe it will fetch at least 3 million pounds ($4.3 million) and possibly much more. Bugatti once represented the height of motoring achievement. The supercar was so ahead of its time it could go up to 130 mph when most other cars topped out about 50 mph. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/28472113#28472113 |

I was reading a Popular Mechanics areticle about Jay Leno and I believe it was Bugattis.. he's already got some and really is into them. I think if it does end up in Jay's garage that it'd have a good home.
Hell, he was in on a project by some guy to re-cast heads for the Bugatti's DOHC 32 valve inline 8... a head that weighs more than 4 banger engines nowdays. He bought the first finished one.. Leno's really into cars, and seems to know how to treat them, too. |
