It's hard to imagine an auction with a more beautiful ambience. Bonhams once again invited guests to the Grand Palais in Paris on February 9, 2017. Where new cars were presented at the Paris Motor Show many decades ago, there were now classic cars that already shone in a similar form back then.

130 cars were brought under the hammer by the two Bonhams auctioneers, representing a total value of over 24 million euros or 26 million Swiss francs.

72% of the cars were sold, with the average sale price reaching EUR 157,460 (CHF 167,994), which was around 15% below expectations.

Epochal breadth

Bonhams offered 17 pre-war cars in Paris, the oldest of which was a Benz Victoria from 1893. The early vintages did quite well, with 5 of the 17 cars failing to sell. The hammer prices averaged 77% of the median estimate.

The age spectrum ranged up to 2010, so 12 decades were covered. The newest car was a Fiat 500 Jollycar from the modern era, with eight of the 130 vehicles dating from after 2000.

The nineties were represented by 10 cars, the eighties by 12. 25 vehicles from the seventies and 27 from the sixties made up the majority of the vehicles on offer. Overall, the sixties were closer to the Estimate than the seventies and eighties.

Aston Martin with Le Mans history as the highlight

The highlight of the auction was undoubtedly the Aston Martin Ulster Sports from 1935. The two-seater with the registration "CML 719" came fifth in its class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1935 and also has an impressive racing history.

The battle for it was fierce, with bids starting at 950,000 euros and eventually rising to EUR 1.75 million, resulting in a sale price of EUR 2.013 million or CHF 2.147 million.

Pre-war rarity Tracta

Jean-Albert Grégoire was a pioneer of front-wheel drive. He implemented his ideas with the Tracta brand as early as the 1920s. His sports and racing cars were very successful at the time. The Tracta D2 Sport from 1928 on offer was ultimately sold for a reasonable EUR 59,800 or CHF 63,800, not much for a car that, according to Bonhams, can be entered for the Le Mans Classic.

Things went much better for an even older car, namely the Panhard & Levassor 7 HP type A voiturette from 1902. It found a new owner for EUR 253,000 or CHF 269,925 and can certainly be admired again soon at the London-Brighton Run.

A small Facel as a big high-flyer

The little Facel Facellia has always been overshadowed by its big brothers, but the 1962 F2B Cabriolet model presented in Paris stole the show.

It was advertised for a reasonable EUR 30,000 to 40,000, but then the bids came flooding in and it was only at EUR 75,000 that the last fighter gave up. However, with a selling price of EUR 86,250 or CHF 92,020, the pretty convertible was actually still reasonably priced.

The battle for the 993 Turbo

The bidding battle for the 1996 Porsche 911 Turbo (993), which had been estimated by Bonhams at EUR 100,000 to 150,000, was hardly less dramatic.

Bild Porsche 911 Turbo Type 993 X50 coupé (1996) - als Lot 383 an der Bonhams Versteigerung "Les grandes marques du monde au Grand Palais" in Paris 2017

The bidders saw things differently and pushed the hammer price up to EUR 210,000, resulting in a sale price (incl. surcharge/commission) of EUR 241,500 or CHF 257,656.

The affordable Pininfarina

But there were also some really affordable cars in Paris. For example, the elegant Fiat 130 Coupé from 1972, which cost the buyer just EUR 11,500 or CHF 12,269, the highest bid was over 50% below expectations.

Bild MV Agusta 1100 D2 autocarro (1957) - als Lot 306 an der Bonhams Versteigerung "Les grandes marques du monde au Grand Palais" in Paris 2017

A likeable little utility vehicle, the MV Agusta 1100 D2 Autocarro from 1957, even failed to attract a usable bid and had to be withdrawn. And a Land Rover series 1 pickup from 1952, normally highly sought-after, found a new garage for just EUR 6900 or CHF 7361.

The extremely rare, but also somewhat bizarre Apal Horizon GT Coupé from 1968 also had to be sold well below the estimate; EUR 29,900 or CHF 31,900 was enough to buy it.

And for just EUR 17,250 or CHF 18,404, you could become the owner of a 1984 Maserati Quattroporte III 4.9 liter.

37 cars not sold

Among the cars that did not reach their reserve price was one of the highlights of the auction, the Alfa Romeo 6C 2300 Pescara from 1934. Instead of the EUR 550,000 to 750,000 asked, the bidders did not want to go higher than EUR 460,000.

Even without a new owner, the Delage D8 Cabriolet from 1930 (highest bid EUR 330,000), the elegant Renault Viva Grand Sport Cabriolet from 1939 (EUR 750,000) and the Siata Daina Gran Sport from 1952 (EUR 240,000) had to be removed.

The Talbot Lago T14 America Coupé (EUR 380,000) and the Lancia Flaminia Sport from 1962 (EUR 170,000) were also left standing. An Alfa Romeo Montreal from 1972 (EUR 52,000) was also left standing, as were three Ferrari 208/308 GTBs, including a Group 4 version.

Even the sought-after Audi Quattro Sport did not reach the minimum asking price, but EUR 280,000 as the highest bid was actually a good result.

Overall, the bids were quite acceptable, but the consignors apparently asked for more.

Philip Kantor from Bonhams was very satisfied with the outcome of the auction, the audience had flocked to the Grand Palais in large numbers and the energy could be kept in the room almost to the last lot, not bad considering the very long auction day.
