The 1939 Fiat Torpedo pictured above was used by the King of Italy to chauffeur Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini and General Franco around Rome. The iconic roadster has now gone up for auction at International Auction House, Coys and is expected to fetch more than £250,000 (US $377,000). Introduced in 1938 and aimed at the elite, the car was delivered to the Italian Royal Court in 1939 for the personal use of the Prince of Piemonte and Countess Calvi di Bergolo. From August 1940, it became the official car of King Vittorio Emanuele III of Italy. The luxury Fiat car also became the official transport for the first prime ministers of Italy, Einaudi and De Nicola at the end of the Second World War. The car has been featured at the prestigious Villa d’Este Concorso d’Eleganza in recent years.
