A classic Bugatti car, which gathered dust in a Tyneside garage for almost 50 years, may fetch up to £3m ($4.35m) when it goes under the hammer.
Relatives of reclusive Newcastle doctor Harold Carr found the 1937 Type 57S Atalante in a garage after he died.

Dr Carr, a former army surgeon, left the contents of a lock-up garage to his family when he died in 2007.

As well as the Bugatti, his nephew also discovered a classic Aston Martin, and a Jaguar E-type in the lock-up.

The nephew, an engineer from Newcastle, said: "We just can't believe it.
"Of course we're delighted and we're going to make sure the money is shared out among the family. It's a wonderful thing to leave."

"It is absolutely one of the last great barn discoveries."

I walked into my garage yesterday and found a Vibe. I'll keep looking ......

Personally I'd be more interested in the Aston Martin. If they keep looking maybe they will find a "Blower Bently," or maybe a Mercedes Benz 540SK, that would be nice.

I would be satisfied to just rummage thru the auto garage at all the other extra stuff on the walls and shelves!

Reminds me of the guy who said at the time that the vacuum tube was the last great electronic invention.

Believe it! Oh that happens every day.

I did find a low mileage beetle under a carport years back. I acquired it and kept it for a long time.. before selling to a Rich Arab in UAE. This was right before the gulf war 2 started.

After the full war broke out.. we were watching 24/7 news and this clip came on of where they were targeting bridges with the green cross hairs. You could clearly see a VW beetle traveling across the bridge and then it was all vaporized. I couldn't help but wonder if that was it.
