Summary

Experts were surprised. A French company holding an auction in Paris exclusively of Mercedes-Benz vehicles did not seem like a recipe for success at first glance. However, Artcurial managed to put together a portfolio of 54 interesting cars and, on October 15, 2017, sold the majority of them at estimated prices, including a 300 SL Roadster that found a new owner for almost 1.5 million. This report analyzes the results and shows all vehicles and sales prices, as well as the estimated prices.

This article contains the following chapters

Figures that speak for themselves
Valuable 300 SL Roadster
High-flyers from six decades
Hardly any bargains
The stars that stood still
Vehicles offered and sold

Experts were surprised. A French auction company holding an auction in Paris exclusively of Mercedes-Benz vehicles did not seem like a recipe for success at first glance. But Artcurial managed to put together a portfolio of 54 interesting cars and sell the majority of them on October 15, 2017 at prices at the estimated value level. Chapeau! In terms of figures, the hammer fell successfully on 42 vehicles, which meant a sales share of 78 percent. In terms of turnover, the cars found new owners for a total of 8.75 million euros (or CHF 10.06 million), i.e. an average of EUR 208,400, which was around eight percent more than the average expected before the auction.
