Unique 1905 Fiat 60HP at RM AuctionsVilla d’Este

Passionate about old and historic cars? Then you shouldn’t miss the 2013 Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, where RM Auctions will offer a real gem to all auto enthusiasts. On May 25 the fabled auction house will offer an extremely rare 1905 Fiat 60HP Five Passenger Touring Car. Actually, this is the only one of the initial 20 units to have survived for so long.

Furthermore, the vehicle is still in excellent condition, boasting its original upholstery, brass work, paint, aluminum clad body, as well as the mechanics. We absolutely love the fact that the car is perfectly drivable, meaning that whoever will win it at auction will actually have the honor of relieving the authentic experience of strolling around in a luxury car of the early 1900s.

Chassis 3003 hasn’t been on the market for over a century (108 years, to be more exact), and we are absolutely sure that passionate collectors will fight hard over it. This was a prohibitively expensive car back in its time (1905), costing over $20,000. We can only expect it to go for a huge amount of money at the auction as well.

Extravagant and luxurious a century ago, the car is a historic gem today. Other remarkable lots to go under the hammer at the RM Auctions Villa d’Este event include a 1933 MG K3, chassis K3001 – the first production K3 – and asupercharged, six-cylinderMG K3 Magnette.
