Equipment
RHD. Dual enclosed sidemounts, polished wheel discs, driving lights, luggage rack, flag mounts. One of a small series of Asturas built for the Italian government to use on state occasions and this one is believed based upon its registration number to have been used for the state visit of Adolf Hitler to Italy before the Pact of Steel was signed in 1939. Restored some time ago to standards appropriate to an automobile that is more important for its history than for its appearance. A good museum car. Bernie Ecclestone Collection.
Market commentary
This is one of few cars that didnt sell today, perhaps hampered by its reputed Mussolini and Hitler history which still doesnt sit well in England and Europe.
