An extremely rare 1937 Bugatti Type 57S Atalante was found in a garage in Gosforth, England, after the death of the owner, an elderly doctor, Dr. Harold Carr, who last used it about 1960.
Only 17 were ever made and when it's cleaned up and auctioned in Paris on February 7th, experts believe it will fetch at least $4.3 million, possibly more.
This car is even more valuable because it was originally owned by Earl Howe, a prominent British race car driver, and because it's original equipment is intact, so it can be restored without relying on replacement parts.
