By far this is the most expensive Fiat 500 in the world as it was sold for a jaw dropping £200,000 or about $400,000 / €250,000 at a fund-raising charity auction in London last week. Even though the particular Fiat 500 entitled ‘Dark, Dark, Dark’ was one of four special examples of the supermini designed and painted by acclaimed English artist Tracey Emin, $400k is a lot of money.

However it is comforting to know that all the proceeds will go ARK, a charity organisation made up of financial institutions, including City hedge funds, and personal donors that raises millions of pounds every year for good causes in areas such as tackling HIV in Africa, children in care in Eastern Europe, and inner city education in the UK. -More pics after the jump
