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 fourLondon-to-Brighton runs and collected a double              gold at the 1997 Pebble Beach d'Elegance in California.              <img src="http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg577/scaled.php?server=577&filename=69905591.jpg&res=medium" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Count de              Dion winning the first ever motor race. <img src="http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg46/scaled.php?server=46&filename=31701869.jpg&res=medium" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg6/scaled.php?server=6&filename=37185208.jpg&res=medium" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg826/scaled.php?server=826&filename=hhjz.jpg&res=medium" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg546/scaled.php?server=546&filename=lkhhoi.jpg&res=medium" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg713/scaled.php?server=713&filename=kuhuhu.jpg&res=medium" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg192/scaled.php?server=192&filename=kuhj.jpg&res=medium" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg560/scaled.php?server=560&filename=mkmi.jpg&res=medium" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg525/scaled.php?server=525&filename=lllllq.jpg&res=medium" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg585/scaled.php?server=585&filename=lhju.jpg&res=medium" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg405/scaled.php?server=405&filename=pegy.jpg&res=medium" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg408/scaled.php?server=408&filename=nuuf.jpg&res=medium" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg109/scaled.php?server=109&filename=polkhjh.jpg&res=medium" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg16/scaled.php?server=16&filename=njnkkbkhbhugbih.jpg&res=medium" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg197/scaled.php?server=197&filename=hbjhbhbhbnkjnmlk.jpg&res=medium" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/happy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Happy    :)" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/happy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Happy    :)" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/happy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Happy    :)" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/happy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Happy    :)" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/happy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Happy    :)" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/happy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Happy    :)" data-shortname=":)" /> Repostnam Sorry!!
