Iconic Italian mini cars and scooters to go under the hammer
At the upcoming Shannons Melbourne Autumn Classic auction on March 7, 2011, a range of iconic mini cars and scooters will go under the hammer with no reserve prices. For those who admire the Fiat 500, the auction will offer two nicely restored examples � a rare black with red trim and collectible 1960 �suicide door� 500D Nuova and an equally stunning red with black trim 1969 500F model. Both these cars get their power from Fiat�s legendary 500cc two cylinder engine and feature four-speed manual gearboxes. While the former is being expected to fetch between $9,000 and $12,000, the latter is expected to go for between $8,000 and $10,000. A pair of 1950s Vespa 150cc scooters will be up for grabs, with both featuring the much desirable 10-inch wheels. If you are on the hunt for something unique and different, there is the rare, restored 1958 Vespa Ape three-wheeler that�s expected to bring in between $6,000 and $10,000. A replica vintage pedal car, with no reserve price, is expected to sell for between $2,000 and $2,500.
