Bertone ordered to auction six cars from museum collection

A selection of six cars forming part of the official museum collection of Carrozzeria Bertone will be auctioned off at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este.

The auction is also a symbolic action: it marks the first time that any Bertone vehicles have been offered for sale to the public.
