Summary

Artcurial holds an auction in the center of Paris twice a year. On April 8, 2018, it was time again and several scooters and 69 cars (including 1 tractor) worth EUR 6.7 million went under the hammer. While the expensive vehicles sold rather poorly, the cheaper and mostly younger cars sold like hot cakes. Two French cars even overshot the mark. This auction article analyzes the mood and results, shows all the vehicles in pictures and the highest bids/sales prices in detail.

Preview (beginning of the article)

Twice a year, Artcurial organizes an auction in the center of Paris, "Sur les Champs" is the name of these auctions. Number 12 took place on April 8, 2018 and offered 69 automobiles with an average value of EUR 96,775 or CHF 113,227 in addition to a good dozen scooters. Two thirds of these were sold, with car sales amounting to EUR 2.4 million (CHF 2.8 million) in terms of value, falling well short of the more than twice as high target in the form of total estimates. An average selling price of EUR 52,870 (CHF 62,387) was achieved per car. The highest bids were on average around 80 percent of the average estimate, which is not a bad figure in itself.
