A precious FIAT from 1913, once belonging to general Baron Wrangel, an officer in the Imperial Russian army and later commanding general of the anti-Bolshevik White Army, is discovered in Russia. The 99 year old spectacular barnfind was made by Jan Bruijn of Galleria Style & Auto in Joure (the Netherlands). The FIAT will be shown for the first time on June 23 and 24 at the Concours d'élégance Paleis Het Loo in Apeldoorn (the Netherlands).<br>
