We see hundreds, if not thousands, of cars every day. Cheap cars and Ferraris, sedans and SUVS, we have see them all. However, there are cars we get to see very rarely.

You might rather be amazed at this. The world’s most expensive car is not SSC Ultimate Aero and neither the Bugatti Veyron, but it is a 82 Year Old Bugatti Type 57S Atalante, one of only 17 made in the world. The car belonged to an 89 year old doctor who left the Car to his Nephew and Niece as per his will after he died. Experts believe the supercar could be worth up to £6 million. Eccentric Dr Harold Carr, who died without ever marrying or having children, left the run-of-the-mill garage with the rare car locked inside to his relatives. If it raises its reserve price-tag of £3m it will have increased 3352-fold in value from the £895 Dr Carr paid Jack Barclays for it in 1955. The Other previous owners of this of the unique cars include Le Mans 24 hour race winner Earl Howe and Northumberland gentry, Lord Ridley. Car experts have described the find as one of the last great ’barn discoveries’.
