  • In Newcastle, there is a very unusual and very expensive car has been found in a garage and it covered by dust.
  • This car was in the garage for 50 years.
  • The car owner, Dr Carr died, and his family did not know this car was the Bugatti Type 57S Atalante.
  • Next month in Paris, this car is going to be sold at auction and it could net them as much as 3 million pounds.
  • This classic car was made in 1937 and only 16 others like it were built, so it is really rare.
  • This car was not the only car that Dr Carr left for his family, there were also 2 other classic cars, an Aston Martin and a Jaguar E-type.
  • Dr Carr's nephew said that the whole family can not believe it, however, they will make sure that the money is shared out among the family.

  • The auction house person, James Knight said that "one of the last great barn discoveries".
