Really? I live in a large village on the welsh borders - pretty unpretentious sort of place - and was surprised to find out that there were three privately owned Bugattis within a half mile. Plus some expensive Jags and an old Bentley

Bugattis in general vary in price but the one in the OP is a bit special. They didn't make many and there's very few in private hands. You're talking megabucks to buy one when and if they come up for sale.

Not Raglan or Usk by any chance Howard?
If that's the case, you're not cheating and counting the late Lord Raglan's collection are you? innocent

Those who doubt that TM is the 'cutting edge'of motoring discussion should take a look at the June edition of " Classic and Sports Car"
where they will find a disucssion of the relative merits of the Talbot and the Bug

We were there first!

I believe there are examples of both coming up for auction in the near future, if it hasn't happened already...

Edit: both at Villa d'Este on the 21st of this month, actually.
