With three days of auctions at this year’s Artcurial Motorcars Retromobile sale between 18 and 20 March, here is a brief round-up of highlights from the first day. A full press release will follow at the end of the weekend.

The Monegasque Supercar Collection (lots 161 - 168), featuring a stunning line-up of one-owner, low-mileage Ferrari supercars attracted huge interest with a large number of bidders in the room and on the telephone, resulting in some record prices. The collection made over 13 million euros with all eight cars selling.

The 1968 factory Porsche 907 (lot 203) achieved the highest price in today’s sale, changing hands for 4 390 400 € including premium. This important competition car with superb provenance, including three participations at Le Mans had been in the same ownership for the last 40 years.

Jonny Hallyday’s most famous motorbike attracted a huge cheer as the vendor rode it into the saleroom. The 1990 Harley Davidson Softail Heritage, known as “Laura Eyes” (lot 187) that had starred with Jonny on stage, enjoyed being in the spotlight again tonight, finding a new owner for the impressive sum of 470 840 €. The vendor has agreed to donate a proportion of the money to La Bonne Etoile, the charity set up by Hallyday’s wife, Laeticia.
