\"\"<\/a>RM Auctions held its 2011 Hershey auction on October 6-7 at the Hershey Lodge in Hershey, Pennsylvania, resulting in a new world record for an early motor car sold at auction.
\nHeld during the AACA Eastern Regional Fall Meet, the 2011 RM Auctions Hershey sale saw the world\u2019s oldest running motor car, a historic 1884 De Dion Bouton et Trepardoux Dos-a-Dos Steam Runabout, sell for $4.62 million, more than double its original pre-sale estimate.
\nCommissioned by French entrepreneur, Count de Dion and named \u2018La Marquise\u2019 after his mother, the 127 year old vehicle drew a standing ovation from the audience as it drove onto RM\u2019s Hershey auction stage. Attracting a starting bid of $500,000 and immediately jumping to $1,000,000, bidding moved swiftly to applause from the crowd, with the gavel eventually falling at $4,200,000. The final sales price of $4,620,000 includes the 10% buyers’ premium.
\n\u201cWe were honored to have been entrusted with the sale of this most important motor car from the renowned collection of the late Mr. John O\u2019Quinn. The world\u2019s leading automotive collectors recognized the incredibly rare opportunity the sale represented, as was reflected in the spirited bidding and impressive result,\u201d said Rob Myers, Chairman & Founder, RM Auctions following the sale.
\nThe new owner joins a list of just five collectors to have claimed ownership of La Marquise over its well-documented history. In addition to being the world\u2019s oldest running motor car, La Marquise\u2019s provenance includes participation in the first automobile race in 1887, where it reached a top speed of 37 mph on the straights, along with a double award at the famed 1997 Pebble Beach Concours d\u2019Elegance. In addition, La Marquise has also successfully completed four London to Brighton runs in the UK.
\nRM Auctions offered 115 cars for sale, with 97 finding new owners, reflecting an 84% sale rate. The total sales volume was $10,062,450 and the average price per car sold was $103,736.<\/p>\n
