Summary

On February 5, 2016, Artcurial auctioned 123 cars and a ship at a total value of EUR 68.3 million at the Rétromobile in Paris. However, almost half of this was accounted for by the outstanding Ferrari 335 S from 1957 with Mille Migla and Le Mans history, which alone was good for EUR 32 million. As always, a record number of bidders and sensationalist spectators attended the auction and, as always, bids were received under the most difficult of circumstances. This auction report analyzes the results, lists all the highest bids and shows all the vehicles in pictures.

Preview (beginning of the article)

The tension in the packed auction room in Hall 2 of the Rétromobile Paris on February 5, 2016 was enormous. The approximately 2,000 observers had to wait around three hours until the 1957 Ferrari 335 S was rolled onto the stage. The hall was darkened. The sports car was pushed in by manpower, then the most beautiful moments of the car were recapitulated on film. Hervé Poulain took the opportunity to recite a few beautiful sentences from a past hero and then the bids were finally accepted. Poulain called out 20 million euros as the starting bid and the sensational two-seater sports car with Le Mans and Mille Migla history quickly rose to 27 million euros, with increments of millions becoming increments of 50,000, prompting boos from the audience as if the five-figure sum was a pittance.
