The last Fiat Torpedo to go to auction

Between 1938 and 1943, around 600 units were built of a car model that reminds us of historical figures such as Mussolini, Franco or Hitler. Of those 600 models, only 400 were intended for civilian use. We are talking about the Fiat 2800, a model that, in my opinion, reflects the repression and the state of the world at that time.

The last surviving example based on the Fiat 2800 is a Fiat Torpedo from 1939, and the auction house COYS has set a starting price of £250,000. If anyone is interested in owning a piece of history at a modest price, the auction will take place at Espace Fontvieille, Monaco, on Monday 18 May.
