Not for the first time, the Paris-based auction company Artcurial is inviting its customers to Monaco on July 2, 2017 to find new owners for 121 cars and two Riva boats. The total value of the vehicles on offer amounts to EUR 24.4 million (CHF 26.6 million), with each lot expected to fetch EUR 198,325 or CHF 216,174.
A quarter of the cars will go under the hammer without a reserve price, so bargains are certainly possible for the first lot, a Mini Moke from 1987, for example.
No pre-war vehicles, but many young cars
Pre-war vehicles are completely absent in Monaco, the youngest car is a Cadillac Series 62 Convertible from 1951, one year younger is a Citroën Traction Avant as an 11B Berline from 1952.
The fifties are well represented overall, but there are even more cars from the sixties, 28 in all.
Porsche ahead of Ferrari
The Zuffenhausen-based brand is represented with 24 cars, Maranello has 15, all other brands have at most a single-digit share, such as Maserati with 7, Alfa Romeo and Lancia with 6 and Mercedes-Benz with 5 vehicles.
In addition to these brands, which are frequently seen at all auctions, Artcurial can also show an Autobianchi, a Bugatti, a Fiat-Lombardi and an Osi or a RUF-Porsche. A Tojeiro and a Saleen are also up for auction.
The most expensive estimate was for a Porsche 911 Carrera RSR 3.0 from 1974 (EUR 1.4 to 1.6 million), which puts it on a par with the Bugatti Veyron also on offer.
Many super classics
As might be expected, the auction catalog also features the ever-popular super classics, starting with the Lancia Flaminia Sport Zagato 2.8L 3C from 1958 (EUR 180,000 to 240,000), supplemented by two Jaguar E-Type Roadsters from 1963 and (each estimated at less than EUR 200,000), through to popular Lamborghini models such as the 350 GT and Diablo.
The three Maserati 3500 variants are also among the popular classics, as is the Mistral Spyder from 1965, for which a self-confident EUR 730,000 bus 830,000 is set.
French specialties
Of course, there are also cars for sale in Monaco that you are more likely to find at a French auction, such as a Citroën Méhari 4x4 from 1982 (estimated value EUR 25'000 to 35,000), a Simca 8 as a Sport Cabriolet and a Simca 9 as a Sport Coupé by Facel, but compared to other Artcurial auctions, the French exotics are actually almost underrepresented.
Group B Festival
The rally cars and their road evolution cousins are well positioned for this. In addition to a Renault 5 Turbo customer racing car "Cévennes" from 1982 (estimated value EUR 110,000 to 160,000), which dates back to the pre-Group B era, there is also the Peugeot Peugeot "Cévennes".The Peugeot 205 T16 is available at auction both in road configuration from 1985 and as a racing version from the same year at similar prices (EUR 230,000 to 325,000).
Then there is also a road-going version of the MG Metro 6R4 from 1987.
Young super classics with potential
Those who are more interested in younger cars should perhaps take a closer look at the Porsche 924 Carrera GT from 1981, which was priced comparatively low at EUR 60,000 to 80,000.
A Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.5-16 Evo II from 1990 was also valued below the current market prices for nice examples. If you can actually get the car for EUR 50,000 to 80,000, then you can probably consider yourself a really lucky buyer.
If you are looking further into the future, you should perhaps keep an eye on the Alfa Romeo 4C from 2014 or the Alfa Romeo SZ from 1991, or perhaps the Lancia Delta Integrale HF "Dealers Collection" from 1995.
The Honda NSX with aluminum body is more likely to be one of those cars that are waiting for a rapid increase in value.
Further information on the individual lots and many photos can be found on the Artcurial website.
