Summary

The Citroën Conservatoire's collection reserves, which form part of the PSA Group's "l'Aventure Peugeot Citroën DS" historical exhibition, have to be relocated. On the occasion of this move, Leclere Motorcars auctioned 65 cars and 90 automobilia at prices well above expectations. In some cases, more than eight times the estimated values were offered for the mostly special production models and concept cars, often in poor condition. This auction article analyzes the results and shows many of the vehicles in pictures.

The collection reserves of the Citroën Conservatoir, which forms part of the PSA Group's "l'Aventure Peugeot Citroën DS" historical exhibition, have to be relocated. On the occasion of this move, the company also wanted to tidy up a little and made 65 vehicles available for the auction of the French auction house Leclere Motorcars on December 10, 2017, supplemented by around 90 automobilia. The whole auction was somewhat reminiscent of RM's 2000 Wheels of Milan (Duemila Ruote) last year. 65 not necessarily well-kept, but special car lots came under the hammer and the 311 bidders outbid the estimated prices, in some cases massively.
