They probably don't have the cash to restore a 1937 Bugatti, and the parts probably don't come up too often

YEah lets fuck about restoring it as its only valued at 4.7mm, hold on a sec we'll give Westwood a call and see if they will have it on the next episode of pimp my ride.

"And despite the credit crunch it could fetch anything up to £6million. "
And also; 4.7m 20 years ago would equate to a lot more that 4.7m today so good guess Sherlock, the point is, unless you had amassive interest in said car, which finding it in a garage who be even more luck, then you wouldn't fuck about, you would cash in. Just think of the alloys you could stick on a hyundai then!
