Artcurial sur les Champs October 2021 - Rally cars partly on a high, super classics scattered
Summary
On 24 October 2021, the French auction house Artcurial organized an auction of 95 cars with an average age of 48 years on the Champs-Elysées in Paris. The average estimate per car was around EUR 88,000, but the bidders often saw things differently and so some of the cars were sold well below or above the estimate, which was also supported by the high proportion of cars without a minimum bid. While a Subaru Rallye works car could not be sold, a works Citroën BX 4TC Group B car achieved the second-highest price at over EUR 400,000.

Preview (beginning of the article)
In the late afternoon of October 24, 2021, Hervé Poulain once again swung the hammer in front of an audience for the first time on the Champs-Elysées in Paris to auction off a total of 95 automobiles. The vehicles were on average 48 years old and together were estimated at around EUR 8.5 million. Almost half of the cars were offered without a reserve price, so some bidders could hope for a bargain. With a sales rate of 72 percent, 68 cars went to new owners and 27 were left standing. On average, 82 percent of the median estimate was offered, and a total turnover of EUR 7 million was achieved, which amounted to EUR 103,097 per car sold.
