There's another most expensive car that I know of between the Bugatti Atalante at $4-4 million and the Ferrari 250GT California spyder at $10.8 million. It's another 57SC Bugatti Atalante, 57511, also part of Dr. Williamson's collection, which sold for $7.92 million at RM Auctions in the summer of 2008. You might be interested in my article on the Erik Koux Atlantic replicas on bugatti revue. http://www.bugattirevue.com/revue39/erik.htm Jeremy,

Fri, 21 May 2010 02:06:15 +0000 http://most-expensive.net/?p=1328#comment-199883 The first owner of Bugatti Atlantic 57374 was Victor, Lord Rothschild of the British branch of the Rothschild family, NOT Philippe de Rothschild of the French branch. This error has been kicking around for years, but has been corrected in print several times. Dr. Peter Williamson bought it for $59,000, the record price at the time, at auction in 1971, and had it restored to its original appearance 32 years leter. It is also the one that, when painted red, appeared on the cover of Ken Purdy's "Kings of the Road" and belonged to Robert Oliver then. Another error, one that has been around even longer, is that only three Atlantics were built after the Aerolithe, when in fact there were four: 57374 first; then 57453 , which was dismantled and lost - this is the one seen in photos with Mrs. William Grover Williams and her Scottish Terriers. She and her husband had frequent use of the car since he was a Bugatti driver at the time. It was also used a a factory demonstrator. The third one, 57473, was the one demolished at an unguarded crossing near Gien, France in August 1955 (not by a Bugatti railcar, as some ironists like to think). It was restored twice, incorrectly, with mostly new parts and is considered non-authentic now. The fourth and last is 57591, the one belonging to Ralph Lauren, its fifth owner.
