Yup - its the fabled Bug that took a dip in a lake when the driver told cops that he had dropped his mobile phone and after picking it up had been startled by a low-flying pelican sending him careering into the water....

The car is on an auction site - http://www.bidisausa.com/inventoryDetailimages.php?id=10253141 - and the auction ends March 23rd 9AM EST in the US.

4 bids have already been made - and although the car appears to have little superficial damage from it's trip into the Galveston Lagoon - there no keys - so you are probably going to need a new ECU - and who knows what damage was done to the W16 lump.....

Can you imagine VW/Bugatti being particularly co-operative getting you parts to get the thing back on the road? - no - neither can I.

To see a video of the car driving into the lake - click on the link below - please be aware the video contains strong language...
