The only car that needs mud tires in my world is a WRC rally car. That ain't no rally car.

My grandfather-in-law turns 95 in May. He owns two 1927 Bugatti boat-tail coupes, a 1937 convertible Type 57c (supercharged), an Amilcar, a '68 Ferrari, and he drives the supercharged 2002 Jaguar XKR as a daily driver.
BTW: That 'Atlantic' was sold by the estate of Dr. Peter Williamson to a museum foundation in CA. Not an individual. That's why they paid so dearly. WOW!
Here's his stash at the Weston CT, car show named in his honor:
He's got a crushing hand shake. When I grow up, that's who I want to be!

Indeed.
Edit - while still beautiful, I now see that this is a modern car, created to emulate some older ones, and not a vintage original.

That's a nice car, and it's in good shape, too. The tires are only flat on the bottom -- just jack it up and rotate the tires and you'll be all set to go.

Bugatti Royale -- The Museum of Modern Art in NYC had a Royale on display at one time .Of course I knew about the car and it was nice to examine it up close. However most people had never heard of it.I spent a good bit of time watching the reaction of the other museum visiters--Eyes wide open ooohs and aaahs .It's a big beautiful car !
