unclescott58 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Cool video. And a cool story. Yet I was confused at first seeing this posting. I thought the car as dragged up several years back? And as I watched video I saw my memory was right. For the car was pulled out of the lake 10 years ago, in 2009. Kind of old news in someways. But, still it's interesting to see what's happened to the car since that time, and story about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet , much of this information was not known at that time . The Story was then someone was escaping the Nazies during the War . He dumped the Car as he did not want Hitler to have it . Thank you for the Story and update . The 2009 Documentary ended when it was brought to the surface IIRC . Thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I remeber a story of a Bugatti that was dumped in a lake in Italy because the one that had ordered it new refused to pay for it when it was delivered and it was dumped in the lake so no one else could have it instead. A sort of act in spite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisBcritter Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 My take: A thing of beauty ruined by bureaucracy and bungled greed, a young man beaten to death by thugs, and a collector intent on showing off how much he can spend to keep the sad remains out of another collector's hands. Pretty much a downer all the way around. YMMV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
