A rare 1920s Bugatti that has spent 73 years at the bottom of a Swiss lake is expected to fetch more than the price of a new Mercedes when it is sold at auction this month.
The 1925 open-top Type 22 is known as the Bugatti Brescia, after the Italian track where the model took the top four places at a race in 1921. The lightweight 1.5 litre, four-cylinder tourer was capable of speeds of up to 100mph. Although only 20 per cent of the bodywork is reusable, it retains traces of the original blue paint and is expected to fetch up to £85,000.
