When Harold Carr's nephews and nieces inherited a dusty old lock-up garage from their eccentric uncle their expectations were low.
But when they opened the doors of the car collector's Tyneside garage they discovered what may prove to be a life-changing inheritance. Among a trove of classic cars was a 1937 Bugatti - one of only seventeen in the world - that could fetch millions at auction.
