| ![]() Source: Businessweek. Fifty extraordinary cars will be going up for auction on Aug. 17 during Christie's Exceptional Motor Cars auction. Here are some of them. 1928 Mercedes Benz Type S Torpedo Roadster Estimate: $3,000,000 to $4,000,000 This one was ordered by the wife of Charles Levine, who never returned to pay for the car after it was delivered to the Mercedes-Benz showroom in New York. The car sat in the showroom for months until Frederick Henry Bedford Jr. purchased it in 1929. ![]() ![]() |

| ![]() 1947 Bugatti Type 73C Racing car Estimate: $300,000 to $500,000 This car can boast of being one of the last models created by Ettore Bugatti himself. After storing the car in a warehouse, a Belgian Bugatti dealer constructed it in 1960 and shipped it to the U.S. without a body. It wasn't until 1973 that it was fitted with a body to look the way it does today. ![]() |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Maybe he or she is glad to get rid of it? Maybe he or she is hiding a dark secret? Or maybe he or she is so nice, I would like to marry his or her daughter. |
