Summary

47 automobiles and a further 33 military vehicles and tractors went under the hammer on September 27, 2020 in the west of France near Bordeaux. This was the collection of André Lurton, a war veteran and passionate winegrower who died in 2019 and who had set himself the goal of creating a collection of all the cars and commercial vehicles he and his family had been involved with over 100 years. The 49 road vehicles that are the focus of the evaluation had been estimated at EUR 676,000 in advance, but realized EUR 1.34 million in the sale, and as much as EUR 2.2 million for the entire collection. Up to 40 times the estimated price was paid. This auction report analyzes the results of the public auction and shows all the vehicles in pictures.

Preview (beginning of the article)

André Lurton was a war hero. Born on October 4, 1924, he joined the French army in 1944 and was at the forefront of the liberation of France and Alsace. After the war, he returned to his home estate Château Bonnet and became a passionate and successful winemaker, producing many outstanding Bordeaux wines (the château is located near Bordeaux). Lurton not only enjoyed grapes and agricultural produce, but also technology and mechanics. If I hadn't become a winegrower, then a mechanic, he is said to have once said. From the mid-nineties, he began to build up a collection of vehicles that would contain everything that had been important to his family and himself. Accordingly, the collection housed at Château Bonnet consisted of many automobiles, but also military vehicles and tractors. There were 80 vehicles in total and they went under the hammer on September 27, 2020, around a year after Lorton's death.
