World's Most Expensive Car

Here's some nice video from today's CNN site on one of the three surviving Bugatti Atlantics, originally owned by Rothschild.

That car is one of my absolute all-time favorite cars. In the 50s it was modified by its owner and "updated". Fortunately the modifivations were not major and the last previous owner had it restored to the way it looked when new and as it appears in the video.

There is a guy in Germany who is building new Atlantic coupes. He started out with Jag XK engines and fiberglass bodies. He did such a good job that people started paying for aluminum bodies and actual Bugatti T57 engines. The British Bugatti Owmers club has newly cast blocks available. They are so nice Jay Leno bought one! You can see that one on his web site.

Thanks for the link.

The only thing that's out there in 1/24 is an ultra-rare kit version of the Bburago diecast.
