1937 Bugatti Type 57S Atalante | Passion of a Lifetime Auction

Gooding & Company proudly presents the most desirable of all road-going Bugattis: the fabulous Type 57S. This 1937 Bugatti Type 57S Atalante is among the most enigmatic and original marques in the history of the automobile. Chassis 57502 is one of only 17 examples originally fashioned with Jean Bugatti’s sensational Atalante coachwork and possesses a history unlike any other Type 57S. It has led a truly fantastic journey, from the prized possession of a motor racing icon in the 1930s to a tinkerer’s pet project in the 1950s, followed by its decades-long descent into oblivion and recent joyful rescue from it. This magnificent Bugatti will be available for sale on 5 September at our Passion of a Lifetime auction.

One of my favs. If it were possible it would be in my garage.

Is this the same car that was owned by the Doctor from the Newcastle area that he had locked away in his garage?
