I saw this on sky news.... I'll rather give the guy £3m if the Engine still works.

Let's hope it won't end up in some new rich speculator hands. Looks in very good shape indeed.

Sell this, buy two Veyrons. Seems the reasonable thing to do.

that's foolish of you skychao... however... if you have the money to buy this, you definitely have left over money to buy 1 or 2 veyrons after :P!! why not have both??. also... the veyron would be a better daily driver than this lol.

I have to agree with skychao, 17 of these vs 150 veyrons on the market now (probably more later on) this also has 72 years on the Veyron. Much better investment keeping this than buying 2 veyrons.

alright... now that we're comparing two totally different cars with totally different purposes i shall say this... these two cars cannot be compared!! seriously. ones an exotic supercar with immense amounts of comfort, the other is a rare, exotic classic that is NOT going to be driven on the roads by the owner. It'll probably move into another garage after this and be kept in there until it reaches a good age, and then it'll be sold again, and again for more and more money lol.

I guess it's a matter of taste. I personally don't see the appeal of classics; they're a thing of the past and there's nothing really to exciting about them.

agreed with RS5 it's down to taste and what you want the car for - as a collector's item to admire the veyron doesn't have a scratch on this, but as a car the veyron takes the cake. though, if you can afford this, you can probably afford a veyron too, so buy this to admire, then drive your veyron home from the auction =P life's tough at the top, hey...

I'd have the Atlante any day in preference to an overpowered, overweight VW vacuum-cleaner, which is what the Veyron basically is; just a cynical marketing exercise. The original Bugattis were the absolute supercars of their day: the pinnacle of imaginative engineering - light, sophiticated and extremely fast. This gorgeous Type 57S is so much more than a mere 'classic'.

That's mint, looks like almost 0 rust. A good wash and a coat of wax and some polishing and it should be gorgeous. BTW it's a Bugatti with 23k miles, the engine will start on the first try assuming you put in a new battery.
