    90-Year-Old Bugatti Sets a Record

    Posted on July 14th, 2015 by Joe G

    A 1925 Bugatti Type 13 “Brescia” was hidden in a garage in Oigny, France since 1966. It was recently auctioned at the “barnfind auction of the century” for $951,216. It was estimated to sell for somewhere between $165,000 and $275,000.

    The auction at Artcurial Motorcars’ Automobiles sur les Champs took place in Paris and featured 60 rare, untouched cars. The collection in total fetched $28.5 million, with a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California Spider being the top lot (sold for $18.45 million).

    The Type 13 Bugatti Brescia is the original model, and the company’s first road car. 475 were built, but less than 10 are believed to remain in existence. This particular car was original and in relatively good condition for being 90 years old. It sold for more than double the highest price ever paid for the model.

    Had a Great Experience

    I have dealt in coins and metals since the 80s. Had dealings with many dealers. Got scammed by a few. Chicago Gold is the only one I would recommend to my family or friends. Have your valuables appraised by them before you sell.

    I'll be back

    Cashed in some silver coins and received a very fair exchange. Joe and Chris, were very friendly, and comfortable to deal with. Came back with some jewelry, and received a rough appraisal...again no pressure.

    I would do business with them again

    I found the Chicago Gold Gallery to be a very honest and reputable shop. I would highly recommend this store to anyone buying and selling their possessions.
