[Instant News/Comprehensive Report] After Carl, a foreign hoarding patient, passed away in 2009, the collection left behind caused his family members distress for a long time.

In the end, Karl's nephew decided to sort out some valuable collections and auction them off. Unexpectedly, the two found a Bugatti 57s in the warehouse. On the Internet, the auction was successful with an astonishing over 3 million pounds (about NT$110 million).

According to comprehensive foreign media reports, after a foreign hoarder, Harold Carr, passed away in 2009, he left a huge warehouse to his family. Carr's nephew decided to sort out the collection he left behind, expecting to be able to dig out of it. Unexpectedly, they found a classic car in Karl's warehouse. After identification, they found that it was a Bugatti 57s (Bugatti Type 57S) manufactured in 1937.

After the Bugatti was completed in 1937, it was bought by Earle Howe, the first chairman of the British Racing Drivers Club. About £895 bought the car from a lord.

It's a shame that Carl only drove it for a short time, before putting the sports car in storage for almost 50 years.

Unexpectedly, this fantastic Yipin has been covered in dust for nearly a hundred years.

After the nephew invited experts to appraise and sort it out, he pushed the car to the Paris Antique Auto Show (Retromobile) in 2023, and finally sold it to the new owner for an astonishing £3 million (approximately NT$110 million).

After sorting out, this classic car was sold for more than 3 million pounds at the Paris Antique Auto Show.
