TodFitch Posted January 1, 2009 Report Posted January 1, 2009 Not a Plymouth, and not in the United States, but what the heck: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/tyne/7807210.stm Quote

Normspeed Posted January 1, 2009 Report Posted January 1, 2009 Great classic. I think I recently saw something on Speed channel that it has been grabbed by the guy that has that show, Chasing Classic Cars. He appears to be very well financed. Strictly a buy 'em and flip 'em guy. Quote
John Mulders Posted January 1, 2009 Report Posted January 1, 2009 great find, but the pound has dropped significantly lately so 3M is not what it used to be My question is always, nobody else checked the barn before? His family never visited him? That would be sad ! John Quote
speedyshark Posted January 1, 2009 Report Posted January 1, 2009 That is sad. Didn't know he had it:confused: They all love him now that they found it and more than likely didn't take to long to put up for sale. I would have put it into a trust. Quote
Brendan D25 Posted January 1, 2009 Report Posted January 1, 2009 Interesting Tod, and a coincidence I was just looking at barn finds on YouTube. Quote
PatS.... Posted January 1, 2009 Report Posted January 1, 2009 It seems that it's existence was known, possibly by the family as well but maybe they didn't realize the value or that it would be left to them: James Knight, international head of Bonhams' motoring department, said: "I have known of this Bugatti for a number of years and, like a select group of others, hadn't dared divulge its whereabouts to anyone." Just makes you wonder what other treasures are sitting covered in dust in some obscure garage or barn. I'm sure nothing like that will ever be left to me ;( Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 some yahoo will buy it and put a crate 350 and auto in it... Quote
aero3113 Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 Norm,that's not the same Bugatti from chasing classic cars the one on the show was owned by the Strauss family and sold at auction for around 700 or 800 thousand. It does look like the same car Quote
