    The world's oldest running car, a 1884 De Dion Bouton Et Trepardoux Dos-A-Dos Steam Runabout, has been put up for sale and is expected to fetch up to £1.6million when it is auctioned off early next month.

    The 127-year-old steam-powered vehicle was built in France in 1881 for the Count De Dion, 12 years before Henry Ford assembled his first car.
