"But every now and then there are Bugatti bargains. In January, a 1925 Brescia Type 22 sold to a museum collection at auction for $345,000. That car was a bit the worse for wear, having spent more than 70 years at the bottom of Lake Maggiore in Switzerland, the result of a dispute over import duties. "

Good thing that the type 22 is, with enough money and patience, is fully restorable.

There was a Bugatti in '20s and '30s Shanghai as well.

I wonder where that is now.
