"After umpteen missions in hell I got a day off, so I could join the lads
to London and enjoy their high spirits, and for a while forget
my life hanging by a thread. But then I stayed around my Spit
and thought about her, and caressed the prop and her gun barrels."

Who says wretched excess is a thing of the past.
Well, actually, this pitiful wreck is definitely from the past, it is distinctly wretched and its new owner's winning bid was astonishingly excessive. Lewis

Here, from the Ultimate Car Page's coverage of the glorious (as usual) Retromobile show in Paris, is the story:
One of the auction's most prolific lots was a Bugatti Type 22 Brescia Roadster, which had recently been recovered from the lakebed of the Lago Maggiore on the border of Switzerland and Italy. It had been submerged at 54 metres under the surface for nearly 75 years. Story has it that it was dropped there in 1936 to avoid paying duties on the Bugatti. At a sizeable expense it was brought back to the surface in 2009. In a very deteriorated condition it was offered with no reserve with the proceeds going to the 'Fondazione Damiano Tamagi.' Although it was estimated to sell for €70 - 90,000 the bidding did not stop until it reached a startling €260,500. The winning bidder was American collector Peter Mullin, who intends to display the car as is in his new museum.
One of the other headline grabbing cars in the auction was the unique Monteverdi Hai 450 SS prototype that was first show at the 1970 Geneva Motor Show. Painted in its correct purple, Switzerland's first supercar was passed into new ownership for €398,000. Several of the remaining high profile lots did not make it past their reserves but Bonhams did manage to flock many of the more affordable machinery; a total of 70% of the lots changed hands for a total of €6.72m.
