The Appeal
The name 'Hotchkiss' may be a distant memory, but in its heyday this small Parisian manufacturer produced some of the most powerful and elegant automobiles in the world. As proof of their technical prowess, they won the gruelling Monte Carlo Rally no fewer than six times!
The 617 is one of their most famous models, and we are delighted to offer you this superb 1935 example. Presented in very good condition, while retaining its originality and period charm, this Hotchkiss would be the perfect candidate for regular use, or even participation in classic car events. These rare cars are rarely offered for sale, so don't miss the opportunity to make this fine specimen your own.
