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 (R36.5-million), more
than double the pre-sale estimate, as two bidders chased
the price up in a three-minute bidding war.

The 1884 De Dion Bouton et Trepardoux Dos-a-Dos Steam Runabout drew a
standing ovation as it was
'driven up onto
the stage'
at Friday's RM Auction in Hershey, Pennsylvania - to prove that this
127-year-old car really does run! - and attracted a
starting bid of $500 000, which was immediately doubled
to $1 million.


Encouraged by the applauding crowd, the bidding went swiftly up to
$4.2 million (R33 million) - 4.62 million (R36.5
million) including the 10 percent commission
before the car was knocked down to a 'unnamed buyer'.

The Dos-a-Dos (Back-to-Back) Steam Runabout was built in 1884 by
George Bouton and Charles-Armand Trepardoux for French
entrepreneur Count de Dion,
who named it 'La Marquise' after his mother.

In 1887, with De Dion at the tiller, it won the world's first ever motor
race (it was the only entrant to make the start line!)
covering the 32km from the
Pont de Neuilly
in Paris to Versailles and back in one hour and 14
minutes (an average of 25.9km/h) and, according to
contemporary reports,
hitting a breathtaking 60km/h on the straights.

La Marquise has only had four owners, remaining in one family for 81
years, and has been restored twice, once by the Doriol
family and again by


British collector Tom Moore in the early 1990's. Since then, it
has taken part in four London-to-Brighton runs and
collected a double gold at the


1997 Pebble Beach 'd'Elegance in California'.
