Antique Bugatti sold for £2.5 million in British auction
Atul | Oct 7 2008

This era recognizes the brand Bugatti as a charismatic car that boasts of fearsome performance and speed. Ever wonder how reputed a Bugatti was, before the First World War? It drew the same respect as it draws now, and a legitimate proof of this fact is a 1928 Type 35B Bugatti, which fetched £2.5 million in an auction in Britain. This sale makes it the most expensive car sold in its category to date. Luckily, the vintage road racer was saved from the wrath of the First World War, and neither did it go under any sort of trimming scissors. No wonder then that it managed to get sold for such a whopping amount eight decades later. The fact that this car was modeled by Ettore Bugatti is good enough to know what a marvel this car has been for over such a long period, and that may be the reason why the churning machine on the inside still manages to produce a roar!

What a very expensive car...I wonder how the intact its parts are. Hehehe... I wanna see if the floor mats are in bad shape or replaced. I’m just really curious.
