Love these kind of stories.

A great find.

Certainly be interesting to see whether it meets the estimates at auction.

Its stock is rising if this is to believed: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/driving/article54...

Stunning stunning stunning car !

The moment someone who knew what it was saw it must have been so exciting.....

One big downer though - it has to be sold now, and a big chunk of the money will go to the government, now that's what I call stealing !

Not exactly a 'find' is it when the guy, James Knight, international head of Bonhams' motoring department says "I have known of this Bugatti for a number of years and, like a select group of others, hadn't dared divulge its whereabouts to anyone."

Sounds like he's been waiting to make his 10% seller's and buyer's fees for a few years.

£600,000 for a few minutes work sounds good to me, assuming it *only* makes the £3m reserve.

From what I have heard, it's a bit like the 540K Special Roadster behind the butchers' shop from the late 80's - almost everyone knew about it.......just right place, right time
Beautiful thing though!
