The 1937 Type 57S Atalante Bugatti that had been locked in a garage since 1960 has been sold for 3,417,500 euros (£2,989,495). The 2009 Bonhams’ Retromobile sale in Paris happened yesterday and is one of the biggest classic car auctions of the year, and this was one of the stars of this year’s sale because it is in untouched condition … including the fact that it has not been turned over since it was locked in the garage in 1960!
