Hot on the heels of the Arizona sales 2026 comes the big kick-off for the European auction season. The Paris sales 2026, which take place around Rétromobile in late January, face the biggest shake-up in a generation.
As we reported last year, Gooding Christies has taken over from Artcurial as the event’s official auction partner – and Artcurial’s huge selection was traditionally almost a mini-show within a show, full of all sorts of distinctly French classics from the very hinterlands of automotive knowledge. Gooding Christie’s lot list isn’t quite so esoteric, but there is plenty of eyebrow-raising machinery among the standouts, including the above ex-Aga Khan Maserati 5000 GT, which we first brought you details of here.
Artcurial, meanwhile, is holding its Automobile Legends sale at The Peninsula Paris during Rétromobile week; the lot list there isn’t quite as peculiar as we’ve seen before, but French marques are thankfully present and correct, as well as a very special Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing, which we brought you details of here.
Bonhams and RM Sotheby’s lock horns again at the Paris sales 2026, with the former setting up camp at the historic Polo de Paris. The Bonhams lot list numbers 80 vehicles, with two in the €1 million-plus bracket going by pre-sale estimate. In contrast, RM Sotheby’s is touting 97 lots, 18 of which are more than €1m by pre-sale estimate.
Here we’ve picked some of the lots that stand out at the Paris sales 2026, and some that could lay down a marker for how the year might pan out with regards to trends.
Artcurial
Artcurial’s Automobile Legends sale takes place on January 27, 2026 at The Peninsula Paris Hotel. The leading lot is the above Ferrari F92A, offered directly from Jean Alesi.
The Ferrari F92A, chassis 136, made its debut at the 1992 French Grand Prix with Alesi at the wheel. He set the sixth-fastest time and, despite heavy rain and a restart, ran strongly in third place on lap 43. A late switch to wet tyres cost time, and an engine failure on lap 62 ended his race, though he recorded the third-fastest time behind the Williams cars. A week later at Silverstone, Alesi qualified eighth, but a fire-extinguisher malfunction forced retirement. At Hockenheim, he started on hard tyres and finished fifth, scoring points and boosting team morale.
At Spa, a duel with Nigel Mansell ended in retirement after Alesi ran off track. In September, the car was driven by Ivan Capelli at Monza and Estoril, both events ending in retirements; Estoril would be Capelli’s final race for Ferrari. Alesi returned to the F92A for the season finale in Australia, qualifying sixth and finishing fourth. At the close of the 1992 season, Ferrari presented chassis 136 to Alesi, who had it fully serviced and tested at Fiorano. It has since remained in his collection at his villa near Avignon, where it has never been driven again. It’s estimated at between €3m and €5m.
Other Formula 1 cars up for grabs at the Paris sales 2026 include a 2002/2003 McLaren MP4-17D/02 driven to third place at the Brazilian Grand Prix by David Coulthard (est €1m-€1.5m) and Jean Alesi’s first F1 car, the 1989 Tyrell 018 he drove to fourth place at the French Grand Prix (€700k-€900k).
This Pre-A Carrera 1500 GS Speedster is one of the earliest examples, among just 15 believed to have been built in 1955. According to its Kardex, it was completed by Reutter and delivered to Porsche in November 1955, finished in white with a black leather interior. Shipped to the United States in January 1956 via importer Max Hoffman, it was sold through Sweeney British Cars to its first owner, Baron von Hermann, a German aristocrat and Volkswagen distributor resident in California, enabling early access to the model.
Raced extensively under the name ‘Daniel W Herman’, the car achieved notable SCCA results, with further victories in 1957 driven by Skip Hudson. After several Californian owners, it was acquired by Porsche historian Wayne Baker, who sourced the correct Type 547/1 engine. Restored discreetly in the US, the car returned to Europe in 2012 and underwent a comprehensive restoration between 2019 and 2021, later competing in the Mille Miglia. It is offered with extensive documentation and FIVA ID, it’s estimated at between €700k and €900k.
Other Porsche highlights at the Paris sales 2026 include an unrestored 1992 964 Carrera RS (€300k-€360k), a rare Basalt Black 2006 Carrera GT (€1.3m-€1.5m) and one of the first 100 911 Carrera RS 2.7s built (€400k-€600k).
This Lancia LC2 is the first chassis built of the seven Works cars produced by Lancia. It took part in testing for the 1000 Kilometres of Monza in April 1983, but it did not start the race after a burst tyre occurred while Ghinzani was at the wheel. The car’s next appearance was at the Le Mans 24 Hours in June, where it was driven by Nannini, Andruet and Barilla. In qualifying, its role was not to pursue outright lap times but to undertake endurance testing. It retired from the race during the 13th hour due to turbocharger failure.
After its competition career ended, the car entered the collection of Yoshijuki Hayashi. It has since been restored, and it wears the Martini livery and race number 6 used at Le Mans in 1983, along with the drivers’ names from that event. It is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Lancia Classiche, and a full crack test was carried out by ITC in February 2025. It’s estimated at between €1.8m and €2.4m.
Other 1980s and ’90s racing machinery of note at the Paris sales 2026 include a 1996 Lamborghini Diablo SV-R (€420k-€560k), an ex-Le Mans 1993 Venturi 600 S-LM (€380k-€460k), an ex-Tour de Corse 1982 Renault 5 Turbo 1 (€120k-€160k) and an ex French Touring Car Championship 1979 BMW 530 (€80k-€120k).
This 1965 Bizzarrini 5300 GT Strada Alloy This Bizzarrini 5300 GT is the penultimate example of the 19 aluminium-bodied cars built by BBM in Modena, produced after Giotto Bizzarrini parted ways with Drogo. Completed in 1965, it remained at the factory for development work. During this period, it was extensively modified, gaining Weber carburettors, P538-specification rack-and-pinion steering, revised suspension with a De Dion adjustment system, a shorter final-drive ratio and wider rear wheels. Weight-saving apertures were cut into the body, necessitating extended rear wheelarches, a feature visible in photographs taken at Mugello from 1967.
Initially used by Bizzarrini himself, the car was registered in April 1966 in the name of one of his companies. It competed in hill climbs in 1966 and 1967 before being entered by the factory in the 1967 Mugello 500km, where extreme heat led to unique cooling modifications, including a one-off bonnet intake. The original aluminium body, complete with period alterations, survives intact.
Sold to its first private owner in September 1968, the car passed through Italian and Swedish ownership, undergoing further race preparation in the late 1970s. It returned to competition in 1981 at Falkenberg, finishing ahead of a Ferrari P3. Acquired by its current owner in 1983, it has not been registered in Sweden and is estimated at between €1.3m and €2m at the Paris sales 2026.
This 1967 Lamborghini Miura P400 at the Paris sales 2026 is one of approximately 125 early ‘Prima Serie’ cars with thinner aluminium bodywork and a lighter weight. Delivered new to the Foitek garage in Zurich, owned by former Swiss racing driver Karl Foitek, the car was reportedly exhibited at the 1968 Geneva Motor Show. In 1976 it was exported to the United States, joining the collection of John A Andrews in Virginia, before returning to Europe in 1989 when it was acquired by Italian collector Mr Prevosti.
During Prevosti’s ownership, the Miura was comprehensively restored to its original colour scheme and interior specification, a process completed ahead of a partial dispersal of his collection in London in 2007. That same year, the Lamborghini was purchased by a German enthusiast who commissioned a full engine and gearbox rebuild to factory specification by Sport & Race Cars near Stuttgart. Following further cosmetic attention, the Miura was acquired by its current owner in 2013. It was certified by Lamborghini Polo Storico at the Miura 50th Anniversary event at Pebble Beach in 2016. It’s estimated at between €1.6m and €2m.
Other classic Lamborghinis in the sale include a trio of tractors and a 1967 400 GT 2+2 first sold to Rome, estimated at €300k-€350k.
Bonhams
Bonhams auction at the Paris sales 2026 takes place on January 30 at the Polo de Paris. It’s led by this Vanooren-bodied 1934 Mercedes-Benz 500K, hailing from the Pierre Strinati collection. Estimated at between €1.5m and €2.5m, it was one of handful retained past the 1980s. Other highlights from the Strinati collection include a Chapron-bodied 1938 Delage D8-120 Cabriolet and a unique 1939 Voisin C30 Aerodyne (€225k-€275k).
Other items from the Strinati collection, which are all to be offered at no reserve, include a 1956 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL (€60k-€90k), 1941 BMW 335 Cabriolet (€25k-€45k), 1952 Jowett Jupiter DHC (€10k-€15k), 1956 Jaguar XK140 (€25k-€45k) and 1934 Citroën C4 Kegresse (€20k-€40k).
This 1952 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Sports Sperimentale IV Serie Cabriolet was completed on April 15 1952, finished in grey with a blue leather interior and matching convertible top. One of only five long-wheelbase 6C 2500 Cabriolets produced, it is one of just two or three survivors. Shortly after completion, it was delivered to James Omar Radford of Abilene, Texas, a millionaire film producer and heir to a grocery and real estate business. The car later passed to the noted American architect William Kesling. From 1972, LH ‘Bud’ Von Nordheim of National City, California owned the car until 1979, after which it was left partially restored until 1987, when Alfa enthusiast David Skora acquired it.
Photographs from this period show it had been repainted several times but retained much of its original interior and a set of Borrani wire wheels, preserved to the present day. In 1997, Bruce Robertson acquired the car mid-restoration and oversaw completion by Eric Roseneau, returning it to factory-correct colours and specification. Since 2003, the 6C 2500 Cabriolet has won multiple awards, including Best Alfa Romeo and Best of Show at the Detroit Concorso d’Eleganza, and has been exhibited at Amelia Island. It’s estimated at between €400k and €450k.
Other Italian highlights at the Paris sales 2026 include a 1961 Alfa Romeo Giulietta SZ (€250k-€300k), a 1966 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 (€180k-€230k), a 1992 Ferrari 512TR (€180k-€200k), a 1971 Maserati Ghibli SS 4.9 (€140k-€180k) and a 1954 Lancia Aurelia B20 GT 2500 Series IV (€100k-€140k).
This 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing is a matching-numbers example, retaining its original chassis, body and engine. Recorded in Eric Le Moine’s 300 SL Register, it left the factory on August 9, 1955 and was delivered to New York City on August 25 via Mercedes-Benz Distributors, Inc. Originally finished in Silver Grey Metallic with blue leatherette and tartan cloth upholstery, the car has since been repainted black with a red leather interior. It remained in the United States under four owners before being imported to the UK in 1980, where it underwent extensive restoration towards the end of the decade.
Following ownership by two UK collectors, the Gullwing passed to a Parisian collector in 2011. The current custodian commissioned MB Classic at Stains to undertake a comprehensive overhaul, including rebuilding the injection pump and starter motor, fitting new injectors, replacing all hoses, rebuilding the brakes, and refurbishing the water and oil radiators. Related invoices exceed €60,000. It’s estimated at between €1.2m and €1.5m.
Other Mercedes-Benz highlights at the Paris sales 2026 include a1938 320N Cabriolet (€400k-€450k), a 1953 300 S Cabriolet (€325k-€375k), a 1953 300 S Coupé (€250k-€300k) and a 1970 300 SEL 6.3 (€40k-€50k).
This is one of three Huffaker-Ferrari 308 GTBs built for the IMSA series for Newman Freeman Racing and CEO in 1990 for the 1991 season. Built on a tubular chassis influenced by IndyCar technology, these 308 GTBs featured inboard pushrod suspension, Alcon brakes on 13-inch discs, 16-inch centre-lock BBS wheels and pneumatic jacks for rapid pit stops. The 3.0-litre quad-cam V8, reworked by Bill Pound Automotive, included a shortened block, relocated water pump, custom camshafts, strengthened internals and titanium valve seats. Fuel was managed by Hilborn injection and EFI Technology controls, with lubrication via a Weaver Bros dry-sump system. Producing around 390 bhp at 9600 rpm, the engine drove a rear-mounted Hewland DGB five-speed. A composite body by Italian Design and Racing echoed the 288 GTO. IMSA GTU regulation changes in 1991 ended its racing career.
Chassis 003 arrived in France in 2008, having previously been exhibited at the Cavallino Classic in Monterey. Purchased by its current owner in 2017, the car underwent a thorough overhaul in 2019 at Sébastien Darnand Moteur, which included replacement of all four wheel bearings, timing belts, fluid servicing and the installation of an automatic fire-extinguishing system. Since the restoration, the car has been actively used, appearing at the 2019 Classic Days at Le Mans and competing in the Ultimate Cup Series at Dijon in 2020 and Magny-Cours in 2021. It’s estimated at between €120k and €180k at the Paris sales 2026.
This 1993 Porsche 964 Turbo 3.6 is finished in Oak Green metallic with Sherwood Green leather, and is one of just three known with this specification. It was first delivered to a Belgian doctor with options such as a limited-slip differential and adjustable sports seats, and he kept it for 27 years. It was sold to one of his close friends in 2020, and it retains its original 18in Speedline wheels, while the Blaupunkt radio is included alongside a Porsche Classic navigation upgrade. It’s estimated at between €400k and €450k.
Other Porsche highlights at the Paris sales 2026 include a 1956 356A 1600 T2 Speedster (€220k-€250k), a 1989 Carrera 3.2 narrow-body Speedster (€200k-€250k), a 1986 930 Turbo Flachbau (€175k-€200k) and a 1961 356B 1600S 75 (€125k-€150k).
Gooding Christies
Gooding Christie’s auction takes place on January 29, 2026 at the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. The team’s debut features 15 Ferraris from across Maranello’s spectrum, from Enzo-era gems to more recent Corsa Clienti track cars. We’ve already brought you details of the leading Ferrari, which also heads the sale – a 1960 250 GT SWB – and a 1958 250 GT LWB California sale here. However, it is the second-most expensive car by pre-sale estimate that has caught our eye.
This Ferrari 288 GTO was sold new in 1985 through official dealer Sa.Mo.Car S.p.A. in Rome to Dr Vincenzo Garraffa of Sicily. According to a report by Ferrari historian Marcel Massini, the car remained in storage until 1994, when it was acquired by its second owner, a collector and former Formula 1 team principal. In July 2022, the GTO was inspected by the official Ferrari dealer in Böblingen, Germany, which issued a condition report noting the car’s remarkable originality, including original underbody wax coating and the tyres fitted in 1985. The interior, paintwork and lighting were all found to show minimal signs of use. In 2024, the car was awarded Ferrari Classiche Red Book certification; it’s got 1500km on the clock. It’s estimated at €6m-€7m, which is new ground for a 288 GTO…
Further Ferrari highlights at the Paris sales 2026 include a 2018 FXX K Evo (€5.5m-€6.5m), a 2008 FXX Evo (€4.5m-€5.5m), a 1962 400 Superamerica S1 Aerodinamico (€2.75m-€3.25m), a 2021 Monza SP1 (€2.5m-€3m), a 1963 250 GT Lusso (€1.25m-€1.75m),a 1950 166 Inter (€700k-€800k) and a 1971 Dino 246 GT in Verde Germoglio (one of 69), estimated at between €500k and €600k.
Listed in Figoni’s ledger as order no. 681, this Modèle New York-bodied 1938 Talbot-Lago T150-C-SS Teardrop coupé was completed in May 1938 and finished in Noir Iris. It is believed to have been first owned by M Toussaint, director of the Casino at Namur, and quickly established a public profile, appearing at the Brussels Concours d’Elegance in 1939 before being shown in Paris later that spring, where it won the grand prize for aerodynamic coupés. Further appearances followed at Deauville in July 1939.
With the outbreak of war in 1940, the car disappeared from view, resurfacing only in 1946 at a Brussels concours. By 1961 it had entered the collection of Belgian enthusiast Stéphane Falise, where it remained largely untouched for decades, stored in partially dismantled form. When acquired by an American collector in 2005, it was then put through a restoration by RM Auto Restoration, retaining original structure and metalwork wherever possible and guided by extensive research into period detail. The car made its concours debut in 2009 at Pebble Beach, earning multiple major awards, and continued its success at Amelia Island and Meadow Brook. Since 2013 it has resided in a private Swiss collection, unseen in public. It’s estimated at between €6.5m and €7.5m.
Other notable French machinery at the Paris sales 2026 include a 1920 Ballot 3/8 LC Grand Prix (€3.5m-€6m), a 2004 Courage C65 LMP2 (€500k-€700k), 1947 Talbot-Lago T26 Record Cabriolet (€325k-€425k) and a 1938 Delahaye 135M Cabriolet (€225k-€325k).
One of around 337 examples built during the brief 2000–2001 production run, this Lamborghini Diablo 6.0 VT was finished in Nero Pegaso with a special-order two-tone interior in Nero Perseus and Rosso Centaurus, extending across much of the cabin in place of exposed carbonfibre. Notably, it was specified without the optional rear wing. It was delivered through authorised dealer Hessing in Brussels in March 2001 and is understood to have been acquired by its first Belgian owner as a gift for her husband. Service documentation indicates limited use before the Diablo was placed into long-term storage from around 2014 until 2025. Following its rediscovery, the car underwent a comprehensive recommissioning programme in 2025, carried out by specialist Garage Milliancourt, at a cost approaching €35,000. It’s estimated at between €600k and €750k.
Other modern performance car highlights at the Paris sales 2026 include a 1993 Venturi 400 Trophy (€350k-€450k, no reserve), a 2003 Porsche 996 GT3 RS Manthey MR 516 (€300k-€500k), a 1994 Ferrari 512 TR Speciale (€450k-€600k), a 1995 Ford Escort RS Cosworth (€100k-€125k) and a 1991 Maserati Shamal (€80k-€100k).
This 1975 Lancia Stratos HF Stradale, chassis 001932, was completed by Bertone in in Celeste with Alcantara trim and Saval Sereno carpeting, and delivered new to Rome-based Lancia concessionaire Antonio Capacci. In December 1977 it was sold to Modenese collector Mario Righini. The car remained in his ownership for more than 45 years, continuously registered in Modena as MO 424620. Understood to retain its original paint and interior, as well as chassis-inspection markings, correct St Gobain and Glaverbel glass plus original Cavis hoses, it’s covered 2000km. Offered publicly for the first time, it’s estimated at between €750k and €850k.
And if you thought Gooding Christies was playing it a bit ‘safe’, there’s plenty of oddities, too, such as this 1947 Fiat 750 Pulidori. The creation of coachbuilder Dario Pulidori, it adapts Fiat 500 mechanicals for competition in the 750cc class. Period records list a Fiat S750 driven by Pulidori and Giuseppe Cioni as car number 46 in the 1947 Mille Miglia, and contemporary reports describe the Fiat–Giannini special, built on a Fiat 500 chassis and fitted with a 750cc Giannini engine, leading its class from Brescia to near Rome before retiring. Archival material indicates that Pulidori and Cioni appeared again in competition with a Giannini 750 at the 1950 Coppa della Toscana, recorded under chassis number 105121. It’s estimated at between €200k and €300k.
RM Sotheby’s
RM Sotheby’s brings 97 lots to its January 28 sale, held at Les Salles du Carrousel in the Louvre Palace. This 1956 Ferrari 250 GT LWB Berlinetta ‘Tour de France’ is the ninth car built, destined for Marquis Alfonso de Portago. Portago and Ed Nelson wore number 73 for the Tour de France Auto in 1956, taking first overall and giving the car its Tour de France name. De Portago then took victory at the Coupes du Salon at Montlhéry and the Coupes USA a year later, notching up a class win in the Rome Grand Prix.
Chassis 0557 GT was sold to C Keith Schellenberg, who kept the car until 1983. Stewardship passed to Peter Palumbo and then to Lorenzo Zambrano in 1992, who restored the Ferrari via Bob Smith Coachworks. Over the next 12 years the car was a regular on the concours scene, taking a class win at Pebble Beach in 1994. Following Zambrano’s passing in 2014, the Tour de France was auctioned in 2015. More recently, the car achieved Classiche certification and appeared at the Ferrari Finali Mondiali races at Mugello in October 2025. It’s estimated at €13m-plus.
Another Enzo-era Ferrari up for grabs at the Paris sales 2026 is the final Dino 206 S built, one of two fitted with Lucas fuel-injected Tipo 233 S V6, and driven by Corrado Ferlaino in the 1967 FIA World Sportscar Championship 1000 Kilometres of Mugello. It’s estimated at between €3.8m and €4.2m.
This 1960 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spyder is the third of 56 SWB built, and one of 39 originally fitted with covered headlamps. Originally delivered in Bianco over a Nero interior to industrialist Pierre Liechti, it passed to Micheline Dalbard of Paris. It was then went to Roland Louis Duteurtre, and ended up in the hands Roger Baillon, who then sold the car to Guido Bartolomeo in 1977. At some point it was painted red, and in 1996 it passed to the German-based vendor. It was restored and finished in Nero, and in 2008 it was awarded Classiche certification; last year a new Red Book was issued confirming it was an original covered-headlamp example. It’s estimated at €12m-€14m.
Other Enzo-era road cars at the Paris sales 2026 include a 1965 275 GTB (€2.175m-€2.375m), a 1957 250 GT Boano (€650k-€750k), a 1960 250 GT S2 (€500k-€600k), a 1963 250 GTE 2+2 S3 (€200k-€250k) and a 1964 330 GT 2+2 S1 (€150k-€180k).
This 1997 Ferrari F310 B was driven by Michael Schumacher during the Belgian Grand Prix, briefly during qualifying. It was then driven Eddie Irvine at the Italian and Austrian Grands Prix, before being used as a spare car for three further races. Ferrari sold chassis 179 in 1999, and was subsequently used in Ferrari F1 Clienti events before being acquired by the Audrain Auto Museum in 2014. In 2019 it was driven at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, but it will need mechanical recommissioning before returning to the track. It was certified by Ferrari Classiche in 2007 and comes with several spares. It’s estimated at between €5.5m and €7.5m.
It’s not the only F1 car in the auction at the Paris sales 2026 – a 2002 McLaren MP4-17A driven to victory at the 2003 Australian Grand Prix by David Coulthard is also up for grabs. Built for the 2002 season in MP4-17A form, it was driven by Kimi Räikkönen at the European, British, French, German, Hungarian and US Grands Prix, bagging three podiums. It was then passed to Coulthard for the Japanese Grand Prix, which ended in a DNF. It was then upgraded to MP4-17D form for 2003. Coulthard and Räikkönen would both drive the car, with the Finn nabbing two second places. The estimate is €1m-€1.4m.
RM’s Paris sale carries several pre-war cars of note, led by the above 1934 Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 ‘Long Chassis’ Le Mans Tourer. First owned by Gianfranco Peduzzi of Como, it headed to Belgium before the outbreak of World War Two. By the late 1950s and early 1960s it was in the US via Jim MacAllister of New York, but returned to Europe via Switzerland in the stewardship of Massimo Columbo, who had a Touring-style Spider body fitted. In 1989 it was sold to fellow Swiss Al Guggisberg, who used it as his daily driver, and three years later it was bought by Heinrich Kampfer, who had the engine rebuilt.
The Alfa then passed through the hands of Nick Harley and Peter Agg, the latter of whom rallied it in Tunisia and had the engine rebuilt. In the early 2000s the car was back in American hands and given a Le Mans Tourer body via Rod Jolley Coachbuilding. Lord Laidlaw acquired the car in 2007, who gave it another engine rebuild via Neil Twyman, with a 2.6-litre upgrade courtesy of Jim Stokes Engineering (the original block remains). In 2021, Neil Twyman restored the car at a cost of more than £500,000, which included being finished in its current colour scheme and its brake pedal moved to left and the accelerator on the right. It made its debut at the 2023 Concours of Elegance at Hampton Court. It’s estimated at between €2m and €2.5m.
Other pre-war highlights at the Paris sales 2026 include the ex-Mazzocchi family 1930 Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Gran Sport Series IV Spider (€1.4m-€1.8m), a three-time Le Mans veteran 1951 Talbot-Lago T26 Grand Sport (€800k-€1.2m), a 1931 Bentley 8-Litre Tourer (€400k-€600k) and a 1924 Bentley 3-Litre Speed Model Tourer by Vanden Plas (€200k-€250k).
Here’s an interesting barometer of the market – according to those in the now, one of the most in-demand cars in the Middle East is an X-Pack Aston Martin Vantage. We’ve seen several appear for sale at several leading Aston Martin specialists at the same time. Here’s a chance to see just how strong demand is. This 1989 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Volante is one of only 167 equipped with the X-Pack – a 400bhp upgrade. Just 33 were built in LHD form – which is particularly prized in the Middle East. The car was first supplied in Suffolk Red with Magnolia leather to a WD Robertson of Monaco. It’s now been finished in Royal Balmoral Blue; it was exported back to the UK in 1997 and then sold to Sweden, it was refurbished by Aston Engineering in Derby at a cost of £140k. Work included refreshing the interior, engine, suspension and roof, as well as a repaint. It’s estimated at €250k-€350k.
Other trending cars to look out for at the Paris sales 2026 include the 1997 Ferrari F50 (€5.5m-€6.5m), 2024 Bugatti Bolide (€4m-€6m), 1990 BMW M3 Sport Evolution (€190k-€240k), 1993 Ferrari 512 TR (€170k-€230k), 2004 BMW M3 CSL (€100k-€120k) and 2004 Porsche 996 GT3 RS (€230k-€300k).
