The two stars of the Artcurial auction on July 22, 2013 are likely to be the Lancia Stratos Stradale from 1976 and the AC Cobra 427 from 1965. The estimated prices for these two offerings appear to be grounded, with the Stratos listed at between 250,000 and 300,000 euros and the Cobra at between 400,000 and 500,000 euros.

But in the shadow of these two coveted gems, there are many other interesting cars among the 59 vehicles.

No prices in the millions

For once, an auction is not attracting attention with estimated prices in excess of one million. The total value of the 59 vehicles is estimated at around 3 million euros or 3.5 million Swiss francs. On average, each car is expected to fetch around 49,000 euros or 60,000 francs.

Although rare, 29% of the vehicles on offer are used cars from 1993 onwards.

86% of the vehicles will go under the hammer "sans reserve", i.e. without a minimum bid, so bargains appear to be within the realms of possibility. However, Artcurial has already proven time and again in the past that it is able to gather together solvent bidders and thus achieve hammer prices that are usually at the level of the estimated values (or higher).

Rarities

In addition to the usual auction classics such as the Jaguar E Type or Mercedes Benz SL, the lot list also includes rare specialties such as a BMW Isetta 600 by Moretti from 1958, an Autobianchi Eden Roc from 1968, a Fiat 750 Vignale Spider from 1963 and a Fiat 600 Spiaggia Viareggina from the same year.

American vehicles

Friends of American products will also get their money's worth in Monaco, with a Chevrolet Corvette C1 with fuel injection as well as a Chevrolet Bel Air Cabriolet, a Packard Caribbean, a Cadillac Series 62 Eldorado Cabriolet or another C1 Corvette as a Cabriolet up for auction.

From AC Cobra to Citroën Ami 6

It will be interesting to see how the AC Cobra 427 with chassis number CSX3153 performs in what Artcurial describes as "superb condition". The car spent its first 12 years in America before being sold to Europe. After an accident, the body was replaced with a completely new aluminum skin at Autokraft in England. A lot of time and money was invested in the car, which was originally painted black, over the course of almost 50 years. As one of only 260 examples with a 7-liter engine, the Shelby Cobra is one of the most sought-after classics.

At the other end of the price spectrum, an early Citroën Ami 6 with chassis number 0162005 in largely original condition will be called for. With an estimated price of 6,000 to 10,000 euros, the good condition and the early 6-volt version will be honored. Whether Monaco is the right place to sell an Ami 6 will be seen on July 22, 2013.
