Thorough research

For Artcurial sales, particularly for this 2023 issue, more than 200 lots will be auctioned. And this, from this Friday, February 3 to Sunday, February 5. Artcurial teams are doing well to offer such nuggets for sale upstream to find out the version, contest condition and/or authenticity of a particular model.

Italian, English, German and, of course, French, there is something for it any flavor. Better, there is all eras. The one common point they all more or less share is theirs price. Or rather, them estimate to be absolutely precise. Let’s not forget that this is an auction. But most see their own a six-figure estimate… When two or three are valued at one ten million euros.

Ferrari 250 LM: the jewel in the crown (Artcurial)

She is the star of this year: Ferrari 250 LM Berlinetta. Italian comes from 1964 year and was produced only in 32 copies. It is less common than a 250 GTO, only this. Also, the 250 LM has a long history. She has it won the final 24 Hours of Le Mans for Ferrari in 1965 with Masten Gregory and Jochen Rindt at the helm.

Other beauties to discover

If you haven’t checked out Artcurial’s booth yet, the Ferrari 250 LM isn’t the only thing that’s attracting attention. others exceptional cars is also in the sale catalog this year.

In particular, one that I admit is my personal favorite. Maybe you find it without charm, with a special design… It doesn’t matter. My choice falls on this extremely rare one McLaren-Mercedes SLR Stirling Moss. An exceptional car open for sale (at the time) to McLaren-Mercedes SLR owners only! This panel, where wearing a helmet is strongly recommended, shows a speedometer, the last scale of which is located at 390 km/h ! I just love it for that.

But Artcurial sales also give pride of place to the most famous Ferrari F40 and other Porsche 911 all generations combined. There is also confusion Honda NSXfirst name or, some bombs good from home like Renault 5 Turbo or even Peugeot 205 Turbo 16. Not to mention the old one Bugatti of the 1930s otherwise Delage simply sublime.
