Broker insight - vintage cars in Paris
Meanwhile, not in Monaco... TWW brokers report from the world outside superyachting.
Yacht Broker Bart Obin has a passion for cars and a twinkle in his eye for the vintage beauties such as those on show at the Retromobile week long event in Paris every February.
"A real classic car week in Paris. Retromobile is now in it's 40th year, attracting an incredible array of collectible cars with some of the best cars and most known collectors from around the world. The show runs for five days during which various cars are auctioned by the most prestiguous auction houses across the beautiful city of Paris. RM Sothebys is at Hôtel des Invalides, Bonhams under the majestic Grand Palais and Artcurial at the Retromobile Porte de Versailles exhibition centre.
Highlights from this year's auction were the 1939 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900 sold for more than 16 millions euros at Artcurial and an ex 24h of Le Mans Ferrari F40 in its infamous blue livery sold for 4.8 millions euros at RM Sothebys.
And as always anything related to classic cars could be found from historical books to rare car and bikes parts to vintage fashion, something for everyone, or at least everyone who likes classic cars...which is surely everyone?" |
