It says the cars only have around 500 miles each since complete restoration of the vehicles. With the new Mercedes being leaked it’s nice to see it’s grandfather in the Mercedes family in such nice condition. It’s time to let the pictures do the talking in this post. If your interested in purchasing these twins you can follow the link to their official website at the bottom.

Find of the Decade: 1937 Bugatti Type 57S Atalante

January 2nd, 2009

Yes, what your looking at above is a 1937 Bugatti Type 57S Atalante found in a garage in the United Kingdom. This car is one of 17 Bugatti ever made. This one belonged to a British surgeon who passed away recently leaving his children a garage full of collectable cars. This was the true gem of the bunch which reportidly had not been driven in almost 50 years. At least four of the seventeen belong to the French Musée National de l’Automobile in Mulhouse, Alsace,while the others location are in private hands or remain unknown.

The odometer on the car reads 26,284 which is remarkable for a car from the 1930’s. The first owner of the vehicle was Earl Howe, the winner of the 24 Hours of LeMans in May of 1937. He had the car for eight years before selling it and eventually in 1955 it made it’s way to Harold Carr. The car is causing a big stir among collectors who think it could possibly be the most expensive car ever to be bought at auction surpassing the current $8,700,000 mark held by a 1931 Bugatti currently.

A new custom Bugatti none of us will ever drive

December 21st, 2008

This car just popped up on Dream Motorcars website from Abu Dubai as a Mansory Bugatti. Although we cannot find an official release on the car it appears they have revamped the Veyron in an amazing way. A new front fascia with integrated LED headlamps start you off in the lower grill and make a V in the center grill. Dark bronze wheels are now in place and new huge carbon fenders snug the wheels in tight on the car. They also did some interior tweaks to really complete the package. With all this being said we have no price on the website and it claims in the description that only three will be made. We bet they won’t be traveling very far from Abu Dubai, perhaps to Dubai or the country of Qatar but not any farther than that. We are filing this under a Bugatti we will probably never see, ever….in person.

New McLaren SLR Stirling Moss set at $1,100,000 MSRP

December 19th, 2008

Even with a $1,100,000 price tag on this item we are pretty sure the 75 units will sell through rather fast. I would pretty much put this thing towards the top of my list for cars I want before even seeing it. Designed with Stirling Moss’ 1955 300 SLR (my second favorite car of all time) in mind it’s just a spectacular production. A 5.5L V8 five-speed automatic supercharged motor is under the hood. The engine produces 650hp and carries this sled 0-60 in 3.5 seconds. Claiming a top speed of 217mph that no one will attempt without a wind screen I am going to guess. Keep an eye out for this at the Detroit Auto Show right around the corner.

Car Collection from Bahrain

December 10th, 2008

Ben from Bulletproof Automotive was posting today about a customer he has been helping out in Bahrain with this R35 Skyline pictured above. He was kind enough to send Ben some photos of his car collection including this Porsche and quite a few more rides. I always love looking at car collections from other parts of the world. Bahrain for you geographically challenged people is an island just north west of Qatar in the middle east.
