Minerva AFS (1927) - von Artcurial am 7. Februar 2014 an der Rétromobile Paris versteigert

Every year it is one of the highlights, the Artcurial auction in the immediate vicinity of the Rétromobile in Paris. Maitre Poulain will once again be cracking jokes and quoting French writers on February 7, 2014, and the girls and cultural attractions will certainly not be missing.

So much entertainment could almost distract from the main purpose of the evening, namely to sell 133 cars worth EUR 37 million or CHF 46 million.

Each car is expected to cost an average of Euro 279,000 or CHF 346,000, 41% (55 vehicles) will be auctioned without a reserve price.

Microcar selection

Almost at the beginning of the Artcurial vehicle auction, three microcars that almost divided the market 50 years ago will go under the hammer, namely the Messerschmitt KR 200 (1959), the Heinkel Kabine (Trojan, 1958) and the BMW Isetta 300 (1961). Estimated at between 17,000 and 35,000 euros, the three vehicles will be called up one after the other.

They will be followed by a potpourri of very different vehicles, from the Peugeot 402 to the Morris Mini, Delahaye 135 Coupes des Alpes Chapron, Fiat 500 Topolino, Porsche 911 2.4 S and a series of Citroën classics.

The 1962 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud Mulliner Convertible, once owned by Brigitte Bardot, will provide the glamor.

The super exclusives

The Bentley 8 Litre from 1931, which was dressed by Gurney Nutting as a Sportsman Coupé and bears the chassis number YR5088, is to be sold for a lot of money. This rarity is estimated to fetch between 2.5 and 3 million euros.

The Ferrari 166 MM/53 Barchetta Oblin from 1953 is expected to fetch a little more, namely Euro 2.9 to 3.5 million.

In comparison, the Ferrari 500 Superfast from 1964 is almost inexpensive, although of course €1.5 to 1.8 million is no mean feat either.

Another of the beauties is the Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 SS with chassis number 0312901 from 1929. What is interesting about this car is that the coachbuilder could not be identified, but the story goes that he took measurements of a vehicle exhibited at the Earls Court Show and then built a similar body by hand in steel. The hammer is expected to fall at between 1.4 and 1.8 million euros, if the estimate is correct.

Of course, auction standards such as the Mercedes 300 SL, Lamborghini Miura S, Bentley Continental or Jaguar E Type are also at the start. But the 1972 Fiat Shellette, for example, once owned by Philippe Starck, could well steal the show.

The insider tips

Of course, there are no real insider tips in auctions, but Artcurial in particular has a number of vehicles on offer where at least the estimated price suggests that there is still considerable potential for future increases.

Although Euro 140,000 to 160,000 is a significant price for an Alpine A110 Group 4 from 1971, if it is the winning car of Darniche/Mahé at the last Coupes de Alpes, took part in the 1971 Tour de France and is one of the few works cars, then the price is certainly acceptable.

The same applies to the Renault R5 Turbo Group 5 (chassis B000036) from 1980, which took part in the Tour Auto and the Monte Carlo Rally as a works car and is now expected to cost between 280,000 and 320,000 euros.

Peugeot 205 T16 Evoluton 1 Gr. B Works (1984) - auctioned by Artcurial at the Rétromobile Paris on February 7, 2014

The Peugeot 205 T16 Evolution 1 Group B works rally car from 1984, which once took part in the Acropolis Rally with Ari Vatanen at the wheel, among many other events in which Carlos Reutemann was also at the wheel, is certainly also interesting for the future. Euro 250,000 to 280,000 is no mean feat, but there are probably not too many chances to buy such a Group B bullet.

Further information on the auction and the individual cars can be found on the Artcurial website.
