Carries four passengers, two in the front and two in the rear. Length with poles: 4,170 mm

Addendum: Kindly note once sold this lot must return to Italy following the sale to be officially exported. The transportation and post-sale storage of the cars back to Milan (Quattroruote) will be at sellers expense. The cars will be stored at Quattroruote in Milan until this process is complete and the registrations have been cancelled. Buyers can then make arrangements to collect cars directly from Quattroruote once this process is complete. We estimate the process will take approximately 3-4 weeks.

The open phaeton offered here was reportedly made by Ferrari e Corsaniga of Milano. Referred to by the Quattroruote Collection as a dogcart, it is of the design used by the English for hunting, with a special compartment for transporting dogs under the seat. A “trellis” on either side of the area allows the dogs to breathe.

The wheels have a remarkably advanced feature for the time period: solid rubber rims. The front and rear seats, unusually plush for an automobile of this style, are both upholstered in genuine natural leather; note also the fitted umbrella basket, as well as the dual lamps mounted at the front.

This would certainly be the ideal vehicle for either the collector of fine carriages or for the gentleman sportsman to enjoy on the hunt, hounds and all.
