It seems that Bertone is forced to sell its crown jewels.
That's no good news for fans of this iconic design house.
Difficulties for Bertone sadly mean that its museum is to be disbanded. But one person’s loss is another’s persons’s opportunity.
Or, in the case of the cars to go for auction at the upcoming Villa d’Este event on the shores of Lake Como, an opportunity for six people.
This is because the legendary Carrozzeria is flogging six of its finest concepts with RM auctions on 21st May
Up for grabs are the 1967 Lamborghini Marzal, 1970 Lancia Stratos HF Zero, 1963 Chevrolet Testudo, 1974 Lamborghini Bravo, 1980 Lamborghini Athon and 1978 Lancia Sibilo.
Estimates range from 1m-1.8m euros (£880k-£1.5m for the Marzal – which was driven by Prince Rainier and Princess Grace at the start of the 1967 Monaco GP, to 60k-100k euros (£53k-£88k for the Lancia Sibilo, a star of the 1978 Turin motor show (bit of a bargain there, we reckon)...
