Oldest Running Car Fetches $4.62M at RM Auction in Hershey, Pennsylvania



October 10 2011 by Motoring Staff

 

This is the oldest motor vehicle car in the world that still runs. It was built one year before Karl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler invented the internal combustion engine.

 

The world's oldest running motor vehicle has been sold at auction for an astonishing $4.62 million, more than double the pre-sale estimate, as two bidders chased the price up in a three-minute bidding war.
