Nazi-era racing car to go under hammer

A RARE Nazi-era racing car hidden in a German mine shaft during the Second World War and said to be worth millions is on display in New York City.

The sleek silver D-Type from Audi forerunner Auto Union, which was restored in England, is on display at the car company’s showroom in Park Avenue.

It will be auctioned as part of Christie’s Retromobile auto sale on February 17 in Paris and is expected to fetch between €9.5 million and a record €11.8m.
