Paris, 04 February 2020 |
RM Sotheby’s enjoyed another successful night in Paris at its
seventh annual sale during Rétromobile week. The auction
amassed over €16.5 million in sales with 75 percent of all lots
sold for the diverse range of desirable cars and automobilia
offered for sale. The packed auction room, which encouraged
enthusiastic bidding on key lots, witnessed very strong
individual results across cars from rare 1950s and ‘60s sports
roadsters through to modern hypercars. The much publicised
Poster Car Collection was a particular success and brought in
over €6.4 million total. |

Veyron 16.4 Super Sport was the third-highest value sale of the night, bringing in a final €1.52 million (Est.
1.2m/€1.8m). The French hypercar is one of only 48 Super Sport models ever produced and was offered for
sale with numerous optional extras and having been well maintained by just one owner who covered only
4,000km from new. |
RM Sotheby’s presence during Rétromobile continues this week with the company’s stand (Hall 1, Stand
G028) featuring key cars from its forthcoming Monaco sale. A race-ready 1969 Alfa Romeo Tipo 33/3 joins a
2001 Ferrari 550 GTS Prodrive as two cars that will go under the hammer in Monte Carlo on 9 May,
alongside a 1937 Mercedes-Benz 540 K Cabriolet A that is an early highlight for the auction house’s Essen
sale set for 27 March. |
