At the Goodwood Festival of Speed just a few months ago a Mercedes Benz W196, once driven by the legendary Argentinean racer Juan Manuel Fangio, sold at auction for a world record price of £17.6 million. Cars driven by Fangio are rare, and, as a result, demand a high premium.
While this 1970 IKA Torino 380S isn’t a car in which Fangio scored one of his many Grand Prix triumphs, it is a car that he used on a daily basis. This IKA Torino may not be one of Fangio’s World Championship-winning Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Mercedes or Maserati thoroughbreds, but it does have a certain aura about it! This car was his, and it is currently in the process of being prepared for sale by Silverstone Auctions in England.
