These are beyond unbelievable, so well documented in nature to go back some 90 years of some like the Monte Carlo Rally car and even Ettore’s personal runabout. I couldn’t believe some of the values of these... not high enough in my opinion. Great work 😌🙏🏻❤️

[@Scrubdesignz]

100% of the time, I turn off music people put to videos. Today, the first time I let it run. Perfectly matched. Well done. Stunning show. I will now put Mulhouse on the bucket list, URGENTLY got to get there to see this.

what does Land of Hope & glory have to do with French/ Italian Bugatti motors ?

[@mu8554]

Still beautiful in september 2021

[@wickednaughtyzoot]

Really wonderful, thoughtful video. I'm sitting here watching this with my dad and we're very appreciative of the information AND the music! Bravo, ExStig! Really well done!

[@johntechwriter]

A gem of automotive history, complete with period photography and excellent narration. Even the music is exceptional.

[@george1la]

Incredible, one guy in the midwest collected all these Bugatti's. What foresight and taste. I saw the old Harrah's collection. He had a Royale there along with so many other cars as it seemed endless.

[@surajpawar7724]

The most wonderful video I have ever seen. I really appriciate the maker of this video. VERY MUCH INFORMATIVE.

[@adriangrantham8130]

What a beautifully produced video, and the music used perfect for it. Well done!

[@TheExStig]

Adrian Grantham Thank you Sir, kind words.

[@UberLummox]

This video is a Godly, emotional experience for a car dork like me. I heard of this years ago with just a pic of the train loaded but had no idea this epic journey was so well documented. Whomever was the camera man deserves some kind of prize. I wish more were left cosmetically unrestored and just preserved - just do the mechanicals. Some of the color schemes are downright gaudy and take away from the beauty. Solid, one color paint looks best on these. Preferably a dark color. Can't thank you enough for this Sir Stig.

[@WarFivevyone]

another outstanding production!!

[@peterr53]

Great video makes my Bugatti heart jump! Thank you

[@davidsherrick2577]

can't believe that there was a collection like that so close to where I live.. West St. Louis county.. Would have loved to have seen that place..

[@GnarlyNutSack]

This is insane. So interesting. Thank you for the awesome video.

[@romandybala]

The Royale captured my imagination the first time I saw it. Never heard of the mark before that.1982

[@mu8554]

Love this upload so much watched it several times now ,keep returning to i.

[@johannes914]

I couldn't believe my eyes when I first watched your wonderfull video. I live 5 miles away from Molsheim ;)

[@Brommear]

Brilliantly documented!

[@ioilyouin5017]

This happened across the street from my family business. I've seen other pictures of a jeep being used to pull the cars out of the building. My grandfather had a jeep around that time, but I havent confirmed that it was his. Also I was told my father used his International Cub to help pull the cars out. So very interesting to have happened in our little town. Probably some of the inspiration for my grandfather to own a 19 teens Oldsmobile and try to restore it. He sold it to a dealership in California, and I went and saw it as a kid.

[@frankfitzpatrick5300]

Awesome Thank you

[@CarlosOliveira-cj3iz]

Fantastic!! What a story...

[@victoriabordier6599]

great compilation of modern art, was considered in that time as about garbege..

[@retroracingshirt591]

very nice work

[@martintaper7997]

$85000 was a lot of money back in 1964.

[@mu8554]

Truly beautiful

[@mu8554]

Keep returning to this upload!!!!

[@parentsbasement7734]

as a newbee to bugatti and a goal to someday own some its nice to see the prices are not unatainable and the company in South america that builds exact replicas that are in the 350-500 thousand range.one will be mine oh yess

[@globusglobus]

C'est le plus beau musée automobile du monde. Dommage qu'on ajouté des voitures françaises(ordinaires) qui n'était pas là au début de l'ouverture du salon au public.

[@franciscodg7604]

Este tipo de material es el que me recuerda que lo que amo y amaré siempre serán los coches, y todo lo que tenga ruedas y pueda ser conducido. Bugatti leyenda .

[@TheExStig]

+Francisco DG Thank you very much Francisco.

[@johnfalkenstine8377]

Interesting. The cars were actually stored in defunct textile plants which were were common back then. I worked in one in Ramstein that had been converted to industrial spaces and back then these cars were worth little. I remember looking at a type 46 Baby Royale parked at a gas station North of Marseille in 1971. It was complete, a runner and the man who owned the gas station wanted one thousand dollars for it, commenting that it was just an old car and a gas hog.

[@DeadBunny69]

Fantastic job with the video, quite interesting. Bet his grand kids wished he'd kept them. haha

[@truckerone3126]

John had no kids. And 11 years later he was murdered . And the case is still unsolved to this day. And no one in the town of Centralia ,Illinois will talk much about it either.

[@jeremyvandiver1780]

Trucker One My wife's grandfather was a policeman when that happened. He never talked much about it but did say it was handled wrong to protect an important person in his opinion.

[@earlyculyer4103]

Doesn't Jay Leno own just the chassis? I think I saw a video where he put a motor in it.

[@UKArtlover]

I wondered do you have a particular connection to the Bugatti world or just interested ?

[@jesussavescars807]

Who ever you are I love you sir I wanted to make about about the history bot the cars and ownership do u mind if I use some info all give all credit to you the parts I use learned a few things here

[@TheExStig]

Thank you. Do as you wish.

[@therustyhenry]

The music in the beginning are Chopins Preludes....why must we see a scene about Bugattis with music, Chopin named after a Japanese car ?

[@theflyingstonemason6867]

Does everyone else think that it's a bit odd that a number of the collection of the rarest cars in the world have been disassembled and displayed in bits all over the Museum. maybe at around 7 million each it's harder to steal parts bolted to a display.

[@TheManzfield7]

I read the hard copy article a number of years ago. It was called the greatest used car sale of the century. J.W.S. met with a bad end though. M.

[@francisskundaliny1295]

THE SUPER SPORT ROADSTER FROM DR SCHER IS MINE! IN MY DREAMS!

[@Blackcupra43]

Man the descendants of Mr. Shakespeare must hate im so bad....

[@fx1c333]

pay tax on $85.000 or get a deposit of 85 thou and pay in instalments thus not paying taxes?

[@raymondherbert3960]

THERE WAS A BARN FIND, I BELIEVE ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO GO, OF THE SCHLUMPF, BROTHERS, SEALED AND ABANDONED WAREHOUSE, THAT HOUSED THE MOST BUGATTI CARS ANYWHERE. PLUS MANY OTHER PRICELESS CARS. SOME CARS WERE SOLD OFF, BUT MOST WENT TO MUSEUM, RUN BY THE FRENCH STATE, TO BE VIEWED BY THE PUBLIC.

[@bikejunk1]

that was the left over cars from their huge Schlumpf automobile museum in that "sealed warehouse"

[@jerrynorton1080]

It wasent abandoned, it was broken into by striking workers who drug a rosengart (german austin 7?) out, torched it, said theres more where this came from! The gov't stepped in and took over...

[@raincoast2396]

Sometimes the old addage of "more money than brains" proves correct.

[@truckerone3126]

When John W Shakespeare was murdered in may 8 th1975 .Police found in his home a false heating duct with $ 50,000 in gold and silver coins.

[@1greenMitsi]

this is like selling your bitcoin when it was a dollar

[@jstevenson7121]

Bargain for whom?. To take an example, for the same price, if buyer had bought (random low-prod. Classic)a dozen Aston db4gt's at list (about $85k)each is now maybe $40 mil. A single $18k new 1964 Ferrari GTO might fetch $20 mil plus today. Who knows what these Bugattis ost to restore. Wonderful to see these works of art saved, of course, but "bargain of the century"?

[@oldschoolfoil2365]

yeah ok can you learn to manage your audio volume im just here

[@roverwaters3875]

who killed him?

[@travisolson9190]

The murder is still unsolved

[@SquirrelFromGradLife]

probably the worst business deal ever

[@krusher74]

He got the equivalent of $1.5million in 1964. Was probably very happy at the time.

[@johntechwriter]

He was a trust fund asshole so probably didn’t care about the money. Thank goodness he sold them before they fell apart from neglect.

[@rgraham-ncal]

Had to be one of the most foolish give-aways in human history.

[@williamstrous4434]

Poorly done, difficult to read.

[@TheExStig]

Back to school for you then LOL.
