For many years local legend has had it that a lake in Switzerland held within its depths a rare 1920s Bugatti sportscar. Divers in the lake discovered some years ago that this was not just a legend! Now the car has been salvaged and is up for auction. Reportedly it is still restorable.

Glad you enjoyed it, Ross!

Now, if I can find an article about somebody finding a restorable Studebaker Hawk at the bottom of a lake, I can make MY dad happy!

That is very neat! And a lovely car, under all the lake muck.
