r000 Bruce 19XX Weiner has Make excelled Model in collecting not only some of the rarest
estimate: $000 000 - $000 000
microcars, but also some of the rarest examples of each type, with
offered without reserve
multiple versions of these seldom-seen miniatures in his collection. This
is clearly seen in his ownership of two PTvs, “the small car with great
performance,” produced in Manresa, Spain during the late-1950s and
early-1960s.
The PTv was ordinarily one of the better-equipped microcars, built
towards an upscale market with two-tone paint, chrome trim, and 12inch
wheels. However, in keeping with Mr. Weiner’s policy of showcasing
all the variations of a certain car that he could find, the example offered
here is an early Sport model, which lost such comforts as doors and
side windows, keeping only a windshield and skimpy folding top. The
result is a car that feels like a slightly more sophisticated dune buggy,
and it could, indeed, be used for
similar purposes, zipping around
the marina or the streets near one’s
beach house. With its sprightly
