Imagine in 50 years, there are going to be Bugatti Veyron barn finds.

Its not actually a bugatti if you read the full article. It is a replica built using some bugatti parts.

Information from the article:

Its estimated to be worth 100-150k. Mr Riley who originally owned it traded a 1931 alfa romeo 8c 2600 and a 1951 maserati 250F for it which have a combined value of 4.4 million today.

That's got to be a kick in the teeth to find out you could have made 4.4 million instead of only 150k.

Where do I find one of these barns? My back shed has a lawnmower, some strings of Christmas lights, weed killer, and my kid's bikes!
