Full house, high expectations, good atmosphere. This is how the Artcurial auction at the Rétromobile began on February 10, 2017. Auctioneer Hervé Poulain spent around eight hours swinging the hammer over 154 vehicles, including a unique Dino 206P Berlinetta Speciale and a Ferrari 166 Spyder Corsa Scaglietti, as well as many French exotics and international racing classics. Things went worse than ever before, the estimated values could not be achieved in many cases, but with 76% of the vehicles sold, the result is impressive. This report describes the atmosphere in the packed hall, shows many of the cars in pictures and lists all the highest bids and sales prices.
