Artcurial adds new auction to its calendar

-

French auction house Artcurial Motorcars will expand its sales calendar by staging its inaugural Automobiles en scene sale on June 17, the company has announced. 

Highlighting the docket of around 80 collector vehicles for sale at the Rond-Point Theater are a 1965 Ferrari 275 GTB from the Jean-Pierre Slavic collection, a 1974-75 Lancia Stratos and a special collection of nine Porsches.

The 275 GTB is one of only 450 produced. It was designed by Pininfarina and built by Scaglietti and was the successor to the 250 GT Lusso.

“The example presented by Artcurial Motorcars was sold new in France and remained in the country until joining the Slavic Collection a few years ago,” Artcurial said. 

“Registered in Europe, the car has benefitted from a thorough restoration carried out by the Italian specialist Bonini. It comes with a substantial history file and Ferrari Classiche certification.”

Artcurial expects the car to sell for €2 million to €2.2 million ($2.25 million to $2.5 million).

The Stratos, designed by Marcello Gandini and powered by a Dino engine, has a pre-sale estimated value of around $500,000.
