The most expensive car in the world Bugatti A Mullin Automotive Museum.
Mona Lisa cars, Bugatti Atlantic 57SC type 1936, the most expensive car in the world.
What makes a car worth 35 million Well, first I guess someone is willing to pay that price for which certainly means that there are others behind them that nearly match, otherwise it would not sell for such high numbers and secondly it must be so rare as the inestimable term has a Saturday night sense, I stood on the floor of the amazing museum Mullin Automotive in Oxnard, Ca about an hour Los Angeles with Peter and Merle Mullin, and we looked at 1936 Bugatti 57SC Atlantic which type of loan is there for a limited time at Pierre museum, lovingly called the Mona Lisa, told me that an anonymous buyer had recently purchased the car from the estate of Dr. Peter Williamson, a leading Lyme, New Hampshire neurologist, who had bought the car at auction Sotheby here in Los Angeles June 12, 1971 for the unknown price of 59000 and proudly held for nearly four decades, I could not help thinking that, if I had that kind of money in 71, would I - admittedly a rare car nut - did the same Probably not, even if I can not buy a Rolls Royce silver Cloud 3 to 6,500, a princely sum for me had customized painted light blue with a touch of money, as we watched the Bugatti.
Peter Mullin addresses the rally Rally; Merle gave each berets Bugatti.
The occasion was a dinner that Mullins welcomed for owners of some 80 Bugattis who participated in the 50th anniversary of the American Bugatti Club Bugatti Rally last week, which I wrote to you recently on Huffington After the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance some 60 cars, ranging from 1920 to 2010 Brescia Silver Veyron grand Sport Bugatti April 16th fastest car in the world with a top speed would be 268 miles per hour and a price tag in the 1st 6 million range left Monterey driving lane north across the Golden Gate Bridge, then south through the Santa Cruz mountains, meandering slowly their way through the coastal cities at home Mullins on Big cliffs overlooking the Pacific where they parked in a wildflower meadow for a festive lunch, then headed south through the wine country to visit Hearst Castle in San Simeon and M Mullin worn to the dinner.
The Veyron Grand Sport 2010, the fastest car in the world, clocked at 268 miles per hour for 1 SELLS Its 6 million.
Along the way, they visited a steam railway, shopped in the quaint Danish town of Solvang, sipped in a cellar Santa Ynez, and visited the Santa Barbara Mission Sitting across from me at dinner was a woman cheerful named Evelyn Paso Robles whose husband wore the kilt, and they said they had experienced the only crash of the rally, when Bugatti made a steep right turn in their Bugatti is on his way to the garage restoration now, she said, but we have other tonight, I met many homeowners across the country and abroad - Italy, France, Germany, the Netherlands many ship their cars here for the rally and mount the Bugatti owners drive their cars, they are not just for show, they said.
The beauty of the deep, a Bugatti in 1925 raised the bottom of a Swiss lake and purchased by Pierre to preserve 375,000 purchase price went to the foundation of a childen in Italy.
At the museum, Merle Mullin showed me the famous lake Bugatti Bugatti Type 22 chassis 1925 Roadster that has been brought to the surface after 75 years of submersion in Lake Maggiore Switzerland The owner had deliberately sunk to hide from a tax collector, setting a string with the idea that he would raise after tax left corroded chain, he was lying on the lake bottom until the car club Swiss Bugatti lifted and sold to Peter Mullin, who calls the beauty of the deep, to 375000, promising to retain the proceeds of the sale went to Damiano Tamagini Foundation, named after the young son of the captain of the diving team absurdly was murdered by a gang of youths at a carnival last year Mullins brought his parents to the opening of the museum, and when Merle told the gathering in the history of beauty in Italian and English, wasn ta dry eye in May In his 1927 Bugatti Type 52 Bugatti Baby, built by Ettore Younge st for his son, Roland Peter Mullin found the size of the child Bugatti Argentina, used as a land of Carnival game screen, he had restored and is now in the museum it has 4 wheel brakes and is driven by an electric motor of 12 volts; it is a quarter of the scale model of the Bugatti Type 35 Grand Prix.
There in the new museum, it is exposed and some 50 cars in homage to the Art Deco era and the legendary wedding design the Bugatti family and the museum curator of technology, Andrew Reilly said, It was the golden age of the car, from 1920 to 1940 There are many people who think that the most important development of the 20th century was the car another for the precious car only three were built; the other is restored in the collection of Ralph Lauren cars.
What makes this extraordinarily beautiful and valuable car we contemplate even more impressive Considered by many as the ultimate expression of the motor car as an art form, the auction house that negotiated the sale said the price was between 30 and 40 million, but charming old woman sitting next to me at cocktail parties where Lanson Champagne celebrated its 250th anniversary with a beautiful cast said, I know very well the family of the seller, and the final price was just 35 million in the car was one of three built by Jean Bugatti, son and heir of the legendary Ettore the Aerolithe Electron Coupe prototype was the1935 Paris Auto Show; It was then developed further and - radical in design and engineering - riveted aluminum panels that he used Mounted on the most sophisticated type of chassis, powerful and revolutionary Bugatti 57S The chassis 57374 was sold to Lord Victor Rothschild London, which ordered the light blue with dark blue interior in 1939, he sent to the factory to have a supercharger installed the only other surviving example is in the collection of the designer Raph Lauren.
My personal favorite car to the museum late 30 Delahaye built for the Shah of Iran, then Persia For me it is the personification of art deco concept car.
Merle and Peter Mullin put their heart and soul into this gorgeous exquisite art deco museum objects.
Peter Mullin told me, when I saw my first car of French far there are about 30, Delahaye, and for the first time realized that engineering masterpieces could also be art statuesque bearing, I was hooked from there, and I passionately pursued the art deco creations a visit to the Mullin Automotive Museum is mandatory for all those who appreciate fine cars, art, the best things and most sophisticated in life, I'm sure, includes all my readers.
