There is an exquisite Etruscan bronze chariot, called the Biga di Monteleone di Spoleto, on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York that is considered the finest preserved example of such a pre-Roman period chariot in the world. 

The museum claims that it was discovered back in 1902 in Monteleone, Umbria, when a landowner working his field accidentally unearthed it and they acquired it legitimately. The chariot was passed around by several dealers, until it was purchased in Paris in 1903 by General Luigi Palma di Cesnola (who was the first director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art) and transported to New York.
