Christie’s sells rusty old 1938 Bugatti Type 57C for $850,000

Check out this 1938 Bugatti, this has to be one of the expensive rust old cars that have ever gone to auction. Christie’s managed to sell this 1938 Type 57C for a staggering $852,500, the Bugatti was originally expected to fetch only half of that amount but it almost reached the same price as a new Bugatti.

The 1938 Bugatti Type 57C as you can see is in very bad shape, the car has sat in storage since 1962, what paint is left on the car is chipped, flaked and faded. The once shiny chrome is now rusty, while the tires are completely gone. The engine has seen better days, but the car once restored will look a dream that it once was.
