Photo Gallery «RM/Sotheby's in Paris on February 7, 2018 - Rarities without new owners»
Even before the competition, RM/Sotheby's auctioned 83 cars at the beginning of the Rétromobile on Place Vauban, which were estimated at a total of around EUR 40 million. The fact that sales ultimately only amounted to a good half of the hoped-for sum was mainly due to the fact that the expensive cars in particular did not find a buyer. This auction report describes the atmosphere on site, analyzes the results and shows the vehicles in many pictures.
