1976 Volkswagen Beetle
A bit humble for royalty? Well Princess Diana did drive a Mini Metro for a time, so perhaps Prince Rainier just wanted to blend in with the proles occasionally - hence his choice of a Beetle, the original people's car. This one is a '76 1.6-litre US-spec example with a scant 13,000 miles on the clock - with the original body and faux white leather said to be in great original condition.
Estimate: 4,000 - 6,000 €
