| [27 Jun 08] :: Arlette Schlumpf collection sold!! |
 When you try calling passionate Bugattistes Bruno Vendiesse or Jack Braam Ruben, better wait a few days. They are out to pick-up the largest collection of unrestored Bugatti cars ever. The use of the word 'barnfind' would be the understatement of the century.
The story is more than well known, yet not all the details. In 1976 the massive - secretly gathered - Bugatti collection of the Schlumpf brothers was confiscated by the French government. Aside the collection there was a 'reserve' of a large number of cars which were in depot in the small village of Malmerspach. In 1999 - after the demise of both Hans and Fritz Schlumpf - this 'Malmerspach collection' was returned to Fritz' widow Arlette Schlumpf, as a gesture, a symbolic compensation of the French government. Not much happened with the cars since then up to May 18th of this year when Mrs. Arlette Schlumpf passed away. Obviously she had made up her mind about what to do with the car collection before she passed away. At this point plans are being made in what way to handle the collection.
