Worlds Rarest Classic Car Discovered In Garage In UK
One of the most significant automotive discoveries of modern times was made in a quiet British garage: a 1937 Bugatti Type 57S Atalante. This extraordinary vehicle, untouched for decades, had been hidden away by its owner, Dr. Harold Carr, since the 1960s. With only 17 of these rare models ever produced, the Bugatti Type 57S Atalante is a masterpiece of pre-war automotive design and engineering, boasting both rarity and a rich history. When news of the discovery broke, it sent shockwaves through the classic car community, bringing the forgotten car and its fascinating story into the spotlight.
The Type 57S Atalante is often considered one of the most beautiful and technically advanced cars of its era. Designed by Jean Bugatti, the son of the company's founder Ettore Bugatti, the Type 57S featured an elegant, streamlined body that was revolutionary for its time. Under the hood, the car was equipped with a 3.3-liter inline-eight engine, capable of reaching speeds of over 120 mph—remarkable performance for the 1930s. The "S" in its name stood for "Surbaissé," meaning "lowered," which gave the car its distinct low-slung profile and improved handling. Combined with its exclusivity, these qualities made the Type 57S a dream car for collectors, but for decades, this particular one had been forgotten.
