Artcurial raises the bidding at Le Mans Classic!
On 9 July, Artcurial will inaugurate their brand new Artcurial Motorcars department with a first auction presenting an exceptional collection including the unique McLaren F1 GTR painted by the sculptor César. In 2004, the record of the highest bid for a collection car in a European auction was broken at Le Mans Classic.
Considering that the best museum is the road, even the racetrack; Artcurial Motorcars have decided to launch their inaugural auction on the occasion of the fifth Le Mans Classic, on Friday, 9 July, just before the race to be held on Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 July.
First auction… first class!
This auction gathers a collection of exceptional cars, two of them having participated in the 24 Hours of Le Mans: the unique McLaren F1GTR decorated by famous sculptor César and the CD Panhard winner of the 1962 Index of Performance. One of the two private collections on sale was owned by a Parisian businessman and offers nine 60's/50's GT among which a 275 GTB/4 Ferrari, a Lamborghini Miura SV, an AC Cobra 289 and a more recent Porsche 959. All of them present matching numbers and full pedigrees.
Artcurial Motocars: smart cars, smart team!
Artcurial Motorcars benefits from a brand new team, experienced and totally dedicated to automobile in the persons of manager Matthieu Lamoure, assisted by Pierre Novikoff and Iris Hummel. Maestro Hervé Poulain will of course be in charge of the auctioneer's hammer for this very first Artcurial Motorcars auction at the Le Mans Classic; particularly when the McLaren César of which he was both initiator and driver, will be proposed to the bidders.
