Yes, autoverzamelaars. Now we know it. You pay astronomical sums for exclusive stuff.

About lucrative barnfinds spoken. Last month we reported on a Bugatti Type 13 ‘Brescia’ from 1925, which is in a dusty schijtschuurtje was discovered, where the French guy 40 years was rotting away. This slijtageslag of four decades, however, has no negative impact on the value. In fact when the car will be on the Artcurial Motorcars’ Automobiles sur les Champs auction was offered, stopped the visitors klassiekerverzamelaars only at $951.216 with offer. Converted over €854.000.
