Believe It or Not: True Stories of Forgotten Classic Cars

May 22, 2016

1937 Bugatti found in a Garage

Again, you cant make this stuff up. Crazy rich people buy amazing cars and for some reason or another they are forgotten or abandoned.

Once owned by the first president of the British Racing Drivers’ Club, Earl Howe, it eventually came to be owned by a doctor named Harold Carr. Rumor has it he parked it in a private garage in 1960 and the car was forgotten by all until 2007 when the good Dr. Carr died. His family sorted through his affairs and in that long forgotten garage they found the incredibly rare car. What was the mileage you ask? An amazing 26,284 original miles. The car soon was sold at auction for $4.4 million dollars.
