Bonhams lists lot 17403 as a "motoring icon" with an engine that has not been fired up for 50 years. It is expected to sell for at least £3m.
Relatives of reclusive Newcastle doctor Harold Carr found the 1937 Type 57S Atalante in a garage after he died.
It was originally owned by Earl Howe - first president of the British Racing Drivers' Club. Just 17 were built.
