Brit doc bequeaths the world's most expensive car to fetch around 6 million pounds to his astound relatives in his garage.

Dr Harold Carr, 89, eccentric in his own way has left his nephew and niece spell bound by concealing a 1937 Bugatti Type 57S Atalante, a rare one of the 17 ever made in the brand. The car was stored in his garage with two others, an Aston Martin and a Jaguar E Type.

Febuary 7th is likely to see the rare model car, expected to fetch a whopping amount of around 6 million pounds which could result in being the most expensive car sold under the hammer reports the 'Mirror'.

One of the inheritors, an engineer by vocation from Gosforth, Newcastle who does not wish to be named said : "We just cannot believe it was there. No-one had any idea what kind of cars he had parked in there. It's amazing really. It's worth so much because he hasn't used it for 50 years. He just left it parked up. It was one of the original super cars. When it was built it could reach 130mph at a time when other cars could only do 50mph"

In the words of James Knight, International Head of Bonhams' motoring department : "It is absolutely one of the last great barn discoveries, and we at Bonhams are honoured to have been selected to handle its sale."-AGENCIES
