I believe the car is at the Bugatti HQ together with the Binder Royale. Interestingly, I read somewhere that they bought the car believing it to be a genuine Atlantic and were dissapointed to learn later on that it was a replica. |

That is something I heard as well. Did they already find out that the Binder Royale is a replica as well??? Anyhow, it is a story I cannot believe really. |

What I do know, is that in the first few years, financially everything seemed possible at Bugatti, with lots of money spent also on the Molsheim Festival, the Royale and the Atlantic. I would not be surprised that in this "spending frenzy" the Atlantic would have been bought without much consideration, maybe even without checking the originality... |

The car (Aubergine colored) is still with VW but at a workshop, hence another Koux replica (not the property of VW) is currently on display in the Autostadt |

If you know the chassis number of the Bugatti, you can check on www.bugattiregister.com if it popped up somewhere. |
