Rare Bugatti Found in Lake

[Wizzo]

A diving club from the Swiss city of Ascona got lucky on a routine trip to Verbano Lake last weekend. The routine trip turned out to be a treasure hunt when they found a 1925 Brescia Bugatti resting on the lake’s bed.

The vintage Bugatti has reportedly been lying around for more than 70 years. There are about 3000 Bugattis worldwide. From the number of the car, what has been ascertained is that this Brescia Bugatti had been put into circulation on April 11, 1925 and is one of the 13 Brescias ordered for Switzerland.

Although the car is not restorable, it will go on sale at a charity event in favor of Fondazione Damiano Tamagni.

That car looks in remarkable nick for having been on a lake bed. It must have been a dry lake bed

Maybe it's just that the engine is flooded.
