I'm really saddened that Uncle Harry died, but...






Dr. Harold Carr, an orthopedic surgeon in England, was a recluse in his later years, according to relatives. He never married or had children. So when the doctor died in 2007 at the age of 89, few knew what to expect inside his dusty garage. The last thing Dr. Carr’s relatives expected to find was one of the rarest cars in the world, a 1937 Bugatti 57S Atalante, which The Associated Press said was one of 17 in existence.

  1. What a great story. I guess someone else might think it's sad. But I'm sure just owning that car was a big thrill for the doctor. You know, like one of those things you just have to own even if you never use it.
    I'm glad I stumbled upon your blog.
