Two years ago it was Alfa Romeo, on February 6, 2016 it will be selected Citroën models that Artcurial will auction off on the occasion of the Rétromobile on Saturday. And where else could this take place than in the city where Citroën was once founded and where most of its models were built?
Large cross-section
Nine decades are represented by the auction offerings, with vintages ranging from 1920 to 2007. The vehicles are worth around 1.35 million euros (CHF 1.48 million), an average of EUR 28,208 or CHF 30,747.
A Citroën Traction 11 B Cabriolet from 1939 was estimated to be the most expensive, fetching EUR 140,000 to 200,000, while the lower end at EUR 8,000 is represented by 2CV models, among others.
Many pre-war models
The proportion of pre-war Citroëns is considerable, with 22 cars in total, well over a third of the offer. These include Citroën 10 HP, 5 HP, B12, AC4, P19, C4 and Rosalie as well as the unforgettable Traction Avant models with prices ranging from EUR 8000 to EUR 200,000.
Among the pre-war offerings, for example, there is a 5 HP Type C3 Torpédo "Trèfle" from 1926, which is expected to find a new owner for EUR 15,000 to 20,000.
Traction Festival
The large number of Traction Avant models is certainly not unexpected, with ten examples in total, three of which date back to the pre-war era.
Here you will also find extremely rare models such as the Traction 11 B Cabriolet from 1939 or the 11 BL Cabriolet from the same year.
Sahara, Méhari and Group B-BX
One of the rare 4x4 Sahara models from the 2 CV series with two engines is also on offer. It is the only one to be sold with a limit, while all other lots will go under the hammer without a minimum price.
The Sahara is said to cost between EUR 60,000 and 90,000, but a thorough inspection is certainly worthwhile here before buying, which also applies to the other cars, as some of them will certainly need a lot of work before they function reliably again or are concours-ready.
Also rare is the 4x4 Méhari from 1980 with all-wheel drive, which is on the lot list for EUR 20,000 to 30,000.
And for rally fans, the Citroën BX 4TC from 1986, the evolution version for Group B, should be worth a trip to Paris. EUR 40,000 to 60,000 is the asking price here, while the Visa 1000 Pistes from 1984 is a little cheaper at EUR 30,000 to 50,000.
Wankel fans should perhaps take a closer look at the M35, which was actually sold as a prototype.
Further pictures and detailed information on the individual vehicles can be found on the Artcurial website. On the eve of the Citroën auction, a further 123 automobiles worth over 150 million euros will be auctioned at Artcurial, a further announcement shows and describes these cars.
