At the online auction Bring a Trailer, a miniature Polish Fiat 126p from 1974, owned by the famous Hollywood actor Tom Hanks, was sold. The exclusive mine was prepared by residents of the Polish town of Bielsko-Biala. As a result of the modifications, the compact car has been completely restored and the interior has been overhauled. During the auction, the Fiat 126p in question was paid $ 83,500, a record for this model.
Residents of the Polish city of Bielsko-Biala presented a Fiat 126p to Tom Hanks in 2017. In addition, enthusiasts do not accidentally choose such an unusual gift. The year before, the film actor had been filmed several times with similar models in Budapest. Before handing over the car to the new owner, the Poles restored the subcompact car and also completely redesigned the interior, upholstering it in bright green leather. Several thematic emblems and a quote from the cult movie “Forest Gump” appeared in the interior of the small car.
