One-make auctions are popular; Aston Martin, Citroën, Alfa Romeo, Ferrari and BMW have all been auctioned. On October 15, 2017, Artcurial Motorcars will be auctioning 55 Mercedes-Benz (and related) vehicles in Paris.

In total, vehicles will be offered for over EUR 10.5 million (CHF 12.1 million), with each car expected to cost around EUR 192,000 (CHF 221,000). 55 percent of the cars will go under the hammer without a reserve price.

From the Benz three-wheeler ...

The "oldest" car is a replica Benz Patent Motor Car from 1886, the beginning of automotive history, so to speak.

The rustic means of transportation is said to cost between EUR 90,000 and 110,000. Together with four other pre-war vehicles, it represents the lower end of the age spectrum.

... up to the Mercedes-Benz SLS GT Roadster

The two SLSs on offer in coupé (2013) and roadster form (2014), as well as the SL 63 AMG Hamilton Edition from 2015, are almost new cars.

In total, around 130 years of vehicle development are represented. Overlaps are largely absent, so that one can speak of an overall broad vehicle spectrum.

Power sedans

Of course, the sporty saloon models from Sindelfingen are not missing.

From the 300 SEL 6.3 from 1969 (EUR 50,000 to 80,000), through the 450 SEL 6.9 from 1979 (EUR 50,000 to 80,000) to the 190 E 2.3-16 and 2.5-16 (in Evo and Evo II trim) and at estimated prices between EUR 35,000 and 190,000, they are almost all there, the fast four-door Benz limousines.

Only the 500E is missing.

The classics

A Mercedes auction without the famous SL models is hardly conceivable. As was to be expected, Artcurial was able to find the famous sports car both as a Gullwing from 1955 (EUR 900,000 to 1.3 million) and as a Roadster from 1961 (EUR 800,000 to 1.0 million).

They are also the most valuable star carriers in the auction.

A Mercedes-Benz Nürburg 500 Sport touring car from 1934 (EUR 700,000 to 850,000) and a 540K Cabriolet B from 1937 (EUR 750,000 to 850,000) are also among the expensive offerings.

If it can be a little less ...

Of course, there are also affordable cars for sale at auction, such as the Mercedes-Benz 230 CE Coupé from 1992 (EUR 10,000 to 15,000) or three different Smart models, one as a Brabus roadster from 2006 (EUR 20,000 to 30,000).

And for fans of rustic off-road vehicles, we recommend a second look at the Unimog 411 from 1957 (EUR 30,000 to 50,000).
