Photo Gallery «Artcurial beats records at the Rétromobile Paris»
On the occasion of the Rétromobile Paris in February 2012, Artcurial once again held a highly acclaimed auction of around 100 classic cars. The offer appealed to a wide audience and ranged from the Ferrari F40 to the Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder, from the Decauville "Voiturette" from 1898 to the Jensen Interceptor Convertible from 1996. Inexpensive vehicles such as a Fiat 500L, but also expensive rarities such as the Mercedes-Benz 540 K Cabriolet B from 1937 or the Horch 853 Cabriolet from 1938 came under the hammer. French brands were very well represented, but there was also no shortage of Italians and German gems. There were even a few Americans on offer, and of course there was a whole range of English vehicles to bid on. For the auction house Artcurial, the event was the biggest success in its history, with a total volume of 14.5 million euros. Record sales included the Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder, a Citroën ID 23ie Pallas and a Citroën 2CV, but at least a third of the lots achieved top bids above the average estimate, with 95 percent of the vehicles finding new owners. The full report provides the complete results with estimated prices and highest bids, shows pictures of the auction and of individual vehicles and analyzes the results.
