Following the legendary auction of the Baillon collection in February 2015, Artcurial is preparing for another interesting auction, which this time will take place in the historic "Théâtre du Rond-Point", just a few meters away from Arcturial's headquarters.
The first vehicles have already been announced and we can already say that a visit to Paris in June is certainly worth considering for potential buyers.
One of four Maserati 3500 GTIs built in 1962 with an elegant Frua body and hardly ever shown in public is being offered for an estimated 400,000 to 600,000 euros.
A late Ferrari F40 from 1991 with only two previous owners and around 8,000 km on the clock is to find a new owner for between 850,000 and 950,000 euros.
One of the approximately 400 BMW M1s built in 1981 will go under the hammer for a surprisingly low estimate of 100,000 to 150,000 euros, first-hand and, according to Artcurial, in completely original and well-preserved condition.
A Porsche 356 Carrera 2 from 1963 in restored condition is expected to fetch between 550,000 and 650,000 euros, while a similarly restored Aston Martin DB4 is expected to fetch between 400,000 and 480,000 euros.
The Alpine A210 from 1966, which finished 18th in the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans with Vinatier and De Laganeste, is a particular rarity and will be of great interest to fans of historic racing. Now 300,000 to 500,000 euros are being asked for the car, which can also be seen at Goodwood in 2005 and regularly at the Le Mans Classics since 2002.
Also race-ready, but considerably more expensive, is a Porsche 911 ST from 1970, the sixth of a small number produced and used as a works car. The authentic car was owned by Walter Röhrl for several years.
Other known lots include a Dino 246 GT from 1971 and a Ferrari 512 BB from 1979. It will be interesting to see which cars will be added by June 2015.
Further information and a constantly updated list of lots can be found on the Artcurial website.
