Summary
Bonhams' offering of 36 cars and one body was eclectic and varied at the online auction orchestrated from Paris, which lasted from June 21 to 30, 2021. On average, 74 percent of the median estimate was bid and 95 percent of the lots were sold, partly because all but two offers were sold without a reserve price. This also made some bargains possible, with a Renault 4 CV going for just EUR 4025. For the most expensive car, an Aston Martin DB6, even more was paid than expected. This auction review analyzes the results and shows all the cars in the picture.

Preview (beginning of the article)
From June 21 to 30, 2021, Bonhams auctioned 36 cars and a Ferrari body exclusively online from Paris. The lots were estimated at EUR 2.14 million, and all but two of the cars were offered without a reserve price. Bargains were therefore possible, but some cars were also sold for significantly more than expected. 54.1 years old and estimated at EUR 57,851 was the average value of a car in this auction. Concours condition was certainly the exception, with many cars mentioning in the description that an overhaul or at least cosmetic work would be advisable. Aston Martin was represented with five cars, Porsche and Rolls-Royce with four each. There were also three lots from Bentley and Ferrari as well as cars from 15 other brands.
