Wow Hard Times!
Well I guess if you just have to have that 1937 Bugatti Type 57S
DROOL DROOL DROOL!!!
Think what you would have to pay for a new one!
How come I never found that in a barn in Europe? I would have offered the farmer a 1000 euros for it without thinking.
The barn thing was faked.
So where did it really come from?
Not faked as much as the fact people actually did know about the car. Maybe not many, but I remember at least a couple of the gentleman’s friends saying they knew about it but didn’t tell anyone until the family made the announcement.
