It is going to be interesting to track the sale.

Looks like a real nice unrestored car. The best to find when looking for barn finds!

I wonder if the family is having Bonhams sell it, or if a third party bought it from the family, and they are selling it. If so, I wonder what the third party had to pay for it. Either way, Bonhams is going to make a fortune on the buyers premium.

The article indicates that the family (they didn't even know he owned the car) has retained possession, and one of the large auction houses will be handling the sale next month. I don't know what the auction fee is, but it must be 20%, anyway.

I saw Harrah's collection in Reno before it was broken up and sold. No Bugatti there, but a Darracq and a DeLahaye. The amount of detail in such cars is numbing.

Can you say Barrett-Jackson or Christie's.

Looks like it's gonna be Bonham's, in Paris.

I read a related article that indicated there were other 'dusty' cars in the garage with the Bugatti, Jag, Aston-Martin...

I saw the Harrah's collection after his death but before the sale. I thought there were two or three Bugatti's there.

^ Ya know, there may have been--I just don't recall...
