This year, the annual Paris auction was held at the Théâtre du Rond-Point (near the Champs-Elysées), as opposed to the French auction house’s headquarters that has traditionally housed the sale. A total of EUR 8.7 million was achieved at the sale, thanks in part to the many lots which smashed their estimates – as the following list shows.
The top-selling lots (inc. premium) Lot 212, 1938 Bugatti Type 57 Ventoux (Lecoq): EUR 523,400 (estimate EUR 250,000 - 350,000) Lot 216, 1939 Horch 853A cabriolet (Lecoq): EUR 685,900 (estimate EUR 280,000 - 360,000) Lot 222, 1935 Renault Nervastella Grand Sport: EUR 218,000 (estimate EUR 60,000 - 100,000) Lot 237, 1965 ASA 411GT: EUR 186,500 (estimate EUR 50,000 - 80,000) Lot 238, 1966 ASA 1000 GT: EUR 54,100 (estimate EUR 15,000 - 25,000) Lot 249, 1986 Ferrari Testarossa ex-Schlumpf: EUR 132,400 (estimate EUR 60,000 - 80,000) Lot 256: 1938 Bugatti 57 Ventoux: EUR 363,400 (estimate EUR 250,000 - 300,000) Lot 257: 1935 Bugatti 57 Gangloff: EUR 559,400 (estimate EUR 500,000 - 700,000) All results from Artcurial's 10 June Paris sale can be found at www.artcurial.com |
