But the owner demands at least $105,000. In 1963, Schlumpf had the collection inspected by Bugatti connoisseur Bob Shaw from Illinois. His assessment of it is unflattering: \u201cMost of the cars are in a part of the building where the floor is dirty, the windows are broken, the roof is leaking and birds are nesting there. Each car is partly dismantled and none has been driven for at least 18 months. Shaw advised Schlumpf against buying them, but Schlumpf persisted in the negotiation and now offered $80,000 for all the vehicles.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/laterale-residences.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/John-Shakespiere-Bugatti012-800.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14232 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/laterale-residences.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/John-Shakespiere-Bugatti012-800.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1208\" srcset=\"https:\/\/laterale-residences.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/John-Shakespiere-Bugatti012-800.jpg 800w, https:\/\/laterale-residences.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/John-Shakespiere-Bugatti012-800-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/laterale-residences.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/John-Shakespiere-Bugatti012-800-678x1024.jpg 678w, https:\/\/laterale-residences.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/John-Shakespiere-Bugatti012-800-768x1160.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>After bitter negotiations, threats and mutual blackmail, Schlumpf and Shakespeare agree a year later on the sum of 85,000 dollars (about 720,000 dollars today), transport to France included.
