well for some of us losing half of our net worth means having $20 Billion instead of $40 billion lol

I love that car and I've had the pleasure of seeing Ralph Lauren's Type 57 SC Atlantic at the Boston Museum's exhibit of his collection. Absolutely my favorite vintage Bugatti of all time. I really wish they'd make a modern front engined GT car with a retro look with this design.

That thing is fugly, just like the Veyron.

i really want to see his collection, i saw an incredible show on it, its gotta be the best collection in the world in terms or rarity and quality of cars. ill have to see when it is closer to pa. i hate boston and the people there-in and have no intention on going back any time soon !!!

Saw this car at the Cranbrook Concours where it won best in show. Amazing car. Its my understanding that out of the 4 built, there are only two left, and Ralph Lauren has the other.

DPancoast · 05-08-2010, 11:45 AM

thats a pretty interesting looking car

sadly i dont think its touring. this was a few years back like 05 or 06 when I was looking at colleges.

Yeah I saw the tv show on Ralph Laurens collection. It's ****ing insane.

He may not have as many cars as Jay Leno but his collection is all concourse quality historic cars. I doubt any of his cars are worth less then 5 million.

Thats is now the most a car has ever sold for. Before that I believe it was 13 million for a ferrari.

Jaguar Heritage was offered 30 million for the XJ13 recently and won't sell.

i paied more for a used pair of shoes i may have gotten ripped off tho. who knew i could of gotten something as unawesome as that for only 40 million. theres another life lesson learned

max2k1 · 05-21-2010, 10:22 PM

I am with you, I would totally would just rather buy a Del Sol instead of a car where only 3 other ones exist in the entire world.

I guess some rich men have to make up for being lonely at the top with more exclusivity.

1. his collection was on display here years ago. the show you saw is old.
2. hate boston all you want, trust me we dont care.

HatchSurfer3 · 05-25-2010, 02:25 PM

Really? People on a car forum making fun of car collectors? haha thats funny. Seriously though, that car is awesome, I love it.

If you guys thought that was nuts, check this one out.....

This car sold for over $370K. The proceeds were going to charity, so that may have had something to do with it. But this car will never/cant be restored, so it is going to stay like that.

Edit: Its a 1925 Bugatti Brescia.

Paul · 05-25-2010, 03:19 PM

Slam it and put roof rack on it lol

i_ride_fieroGT · 05-25-2010, 06:00 PM

Not sure if it was this one but someone had a bugatti in there barn for 50 sum years worth a couple mill.... Some people get that lucky.

redtoprps13 · 05-25-2010, 06:04 PM

I collect brooks bicycle seats. I have one from the 30s that looks pretty ****ty but I enjoy it just like I do the others. Same kinda thing I guess. I really don't use any of them but enjoy the craftsmanship.

If you had a collection of 10 pre-war bugatis you may be excited to find this car no matter the condition to put in your collection and put on display.
