Restored to the original Earl Howe's colours and why not? Blue flash on black

What a truly remarkable and fantastic video... Whether you like this type of car or not- it is the whole history behind it-the story captured me from start to finish. These stories never fail to keep me in awe. This one in particular was very well done indeed - even the tunes were so fitting-just wonderful to listen, read and watch. I wish the doctor could see his beloved Bugatti now- back to her former glory-I assume,he would have a smile on his face..... Maybe.......maybe he does see her - who knows.....

Perfect music for a great story.

Great video about such a rare and beautiful classic car. Well edited and produced, thanks!

Excellent job. I mean really first class. Great pics. Great music. Great details of the history of the car. Great editing. Thank you so much.

Art on wheels.

Such a fitting and pleasant video for this rare treasure. Thank you.

i dont drive and have never had an intrest in cars.....but this....what a beauty...sleek stylish and really beautyfull..it looks more like a sculpture than a car. really intresting story and vidio too,thankyou for sharing.

I can't imagine sitting in this car and observing every details...masterpiece! great choice of music by the way...

Beautiful video montage and some wonderful music to go with it. Thanks for sharing!

Such a beautiful work of art.

rolling art . Bugattis are some of my favorite cars . the 36-38 type 57s/sc Atlantic coupe is my favorite Bugatti. but this car is a very close . There was a Rare 1938 Bugatti Atalante found in a garage in new York state not fare from my house a few years back

Very Nice, Richard, thanks for showying this video and your very good taste for music.

Very well done! All these historical background informations were awesome and the music fits perfectly. Very intersting!

Just beautiful. Perfect choice of music.

Wow, unbelievable! The music fit the bill to a "T", also!

I enjoyed that, thanks. Nice way of telling a story.

Beautiful job on the video. Really enjoyed the story.

Thank you for uploading this great video. It's too bad that the restoration was not recorded and uploaded. That would've been a real treat. This was a treat in itself.

A very good story and a nice video. I'm and old TV director and I like your effort. Just a nice story to watch at ease.

totally enthralled and captivated by the story of this glorious car. Absolutely beautiful vehicle

I love this stuff, thanks for the wonderful post and excellent music.

This has been a wonderful presentation. Thank you for all your work.

romantic song for a favolous historic car...a state of art...

Superb video!!! Many thanks for all your work on this history sharing event. Though a lot folks would not agree with the car being fully restored...I fully enjoy seeing what they looked like in their original beauty. As for the luggage rack being left on...guess one could say that this Bugatti is the only one with a luggage rack on it...making it even more rare. It's all how you look at it. Again...thank-you!

Great video and story indeed - loved it thank you!! I cannot believe a car like that was sold for only 4.5 m$... Must be worth 10 times that now. What an amazing automobile...

One of few cars on this planet with a soul

so sad they sold it,,I would've keep it and just enjoy this beauty...nothing out there can't top this BUGATTI.

What a beautifully-made video! Sweet music and video content made this a joy to watch. Thank you very, very much for posting it!

A wonderful story, great to see something rare like this shown. It was a treat to see her restored too, but personally I would have kept the different bumpers that were part of her past. Thanks for sharing.

GREAT STORY!! Thank you for sharing!!

Classy rendering of this story... Chopin's scores fit perfecty with the shape and breathtaking beauty of the car. Very good job, TheExStig. Well done. BRA-VO!! For your next video on a similarly beautiful car, think about using Debussy's Reflets dans l'Eau, Fauré's Barcarolle or Ravel's Jeux d'Eau in support of the video: unlike Chopin (who was half French, half Polish), these three were 100% French, and all would fit marvelously with the French style exemplified by the car you might want to feature... like a Bugatti Type 57 Atlantic, a Royale or a Hispano-Suiza H6B for example? Just teasing... Kind of...

Wonderfull video. Such an amazing story!

Well put together. What provenance!

Well made documentary. Keep it up.

A beautiful car, and a beautifully produced, and edited video ~ Well done, and all the very best to you ~ Geoff

great video loved the piano playing in the background may God rest his soul and grant him peace

the beauty of these old cars

Wow just wow! Hats off!

What an amazing car, such beutiful lines! Wow, what a lucky family to find such a car in an old lock shed.

I would like to see the full restoration video's...they are nice to watch. all that care and knowledge.

Wonderful story. Thanks

koolll car and nice video, always a pleasure to see old rare cars like that in their original condition when re-discovered and then in their restored condition. nice work, thank you for the upload

this is just beautiful, old world stuff..music's suits too.

Great music and video. Thank you!

What a beautiful car, story and music.

Would have loved to hear the motor or see it drive.

Wow, What a found! I've seen many Bugattis in the French national automuseum (they own 87 Bugattis!) and the most impressive is the Type41 "Cupe Napoleon".

Can you imagine the excitement upon discovering this.. Some serious bone chilling findings right there..

Really well done video, not to mention the actual restoration. Quite a fitting soundtrack too.

Nice vid and background music - cheers.

That car is a true piece of art. A lovely story.

When they said it was being auctioned I thought it might make $5 - 600,000, but it just goes to show what I know about classic cars! Absolutely incredible car which provided a very nice windfall for his family.

amazing peoples ,and beautiful cars,a key stone of engineer.

A piece of history,well documented a fantastic rare awesome car.

Masterpiece

One of few Cars on this Planet with a Soul.

Someone asked what song, it is Chopin's Andante Spianato preceding the Grande Polonaise Brillante in E-flat major. op.22. He really was a great composer, and fitting in it's beauty here. thanks for posting this.

What a lovely story of an enchanting car.

Beautiful Car! Thanks for Sharing.

Beauty,,,,pure Beauty

wow! This is just amazing

What a great story 😀👍🏽

A great video, a great car.Thank you.

I dont really like bugattis.. but that one is just beautiful. Really nice video mate! Thumbs up!

Great video the music. The car is one of the most beautiful cars

I almost cry how good this is.

Bugatti's back then looked just so amazing, so much sleeker than any other car. Now they make the veyron look like any other super car. Big, bulky, and it wouldn't stand out from a crowd of cars

Great video 👏

What a cool car! Great story

really nice and strong body kit

John W Shakespeare from Centralia ,Illinois had the biggest collection of Bugatti's in the USA. And to this day still holds that record.

Bugatti also loved racing. This car was very fing fast in it's day.

Dear "TheExStig" Is the second the Piano Transcription by Wilhelm Shaum of Carnivale of Venice? I heard it 30 years ago and bought the piano score, but could not find a recording anywhere. Thank you for the lovely music.

The description says, "collectors worldwide knew the whereabouts of this car" - but I got the impression that the relatives were surprised to find it in his garage - IF they did not know he had it, until they opened the garage, I would love to have seen the face(s) of whoever opened the garage and found it! Whether they were surprised or not, this is an interesting story about an awesome car. And I am always amazed that anyone has millions (or even hundreds of thousands) to spend on one rare car. Must be nice.

I have never seen this model, jaw dropping beautiful, i would have to had a drive of it before it was sold,

What very nice piece of automotive history>

Its amazing that my grandfather was born the same year that this car was built

The Jeager dial are pure class!

I would have kept the body as it was in the lock-up garage and done only what was needed to make it roadworthy. I had a 1954 Citroen Light 15 that came out of a barn in Quebec. I restored it mechanically but left the body as it was which was actually pretty crummy. Dents, holes drilled in the fenders, the paint was flaking off. It had a past and I liked it as it was as it showed its history from South Africa and Botswana. A kid crashed into it at a crosswalk near Toronto. The insurance paid to restore the body like new, but I didn't like it so much after that and sold it off. Once an old car is painted, you have a shiny car but you have lost something that you can not recover.

Great film

Nicely Done.....

thank you for that

Magnificant!

Those guys uncle left them one fucking Bugatti, my uncle only has like 6 cats.

Very well done. Thank you! Gerard Paul Hill III

What a beautiful music... can someone tell me who the composer is and the title of this composition?

Nice work

I was hoping they would have shown the interior after the restoration.

Sorry if I sounded cold or cocky in my post minutes ago. This Bugatti Atalante 57S is a beautiful work of art with a wonderful, but at times sad history. Glad she was saved and restored to the height of her glory.

awesome. thanks for the story

So glad the purchaser restored the car to its former glory. It's ridiculous when certain barn finds are kept in deplorable, rat infested, condition I understand that a car can only be original once, but that should apply to cars that have been kept up since new. Few can fathom what a beautiful car like this should actually look like unless someone cares enough to restore it. Great video! Thanks for going to the trouble of making it.

I don't really understand the motivation behind removing the bumpers and changing the reg - surely they add a degree of history and patina to the car?

A true engineering masterpiece.

I wonder how many Vintage cars are in Shields...particularity in South Shields...!!

Looks like that Bugatti was made by hand. It's amazing.

If you took the headlights out you could easily fit in cannons.. Looks so epic.

Very nice story

To find a car left untouched since 1960 in its original condition and later sold for 4.53 millions is trully amazing

just a beauty
