It's been a few weeks since I worte a post about cars. My last post was about the sale of the impressive collection of Marcel Petitjean, former racing driver and car lover, with the sale of his 28 exceptional Ferraris from 1959 to 1989 on February 2nd through RM Sotheby's in Paris. This was the second part of the collection. The first one was sold in June 2020 with many iconic cars like DeLorean DMC-12 or Lamborghini Miura. Today we'll just look at if the sale was top notch and which cars sold for the most money.
I wish I had a garage like that with this Ferrari 288 GTO. 🤑
The Petitjean Collection ‘Part II’** a tenu toutes ses promesses et a donné le ton de la soirée ou le cumul des ventes réalisées a atteinte presque 25 millions d'euros avec 91 % des voitures vendues. Certaines personnes ne connaissent pas la crise.
The Petitjean Collection 'Part II'** kept all its promises and set the tone of the evening where the cumulative sales reached almost 25 million euros with 91% of cars sold. Some people don't know the crisis.
1996 Ferrari F310 Show Car sold for € 216,000. It's a static replica of the Ferrari F310 drived by Michael Schumacher in his first Ferrari Formula 1 season. You need quite a shelf to display it in the living room 😀
We'll start with the top three Ferraris sold from the Petitjean collection. If you want to have a better overview of the cars offered, just check my previous post : Petitjean collection Part II. I'll go through quickly because all the info is in this post.
1985 Ferrari 288 GTO
Best sale of the evening, it's obviously one of the ultimate supercars of the 80's with this Ferrari 288 GTO sold for € 3,464,375. A record for this model.
1966 Ferrari 275 GTB/4
This Ferrari 275 GTB/4 with a coachwork penned by Scaglietti was sold € 2,367,500. This example was the first production GTB/4 produced and Paris Salon show car in 1966.
1964 Ferrari 250 GT/L Berlinetta Lusso by Scaglietti
And to finish this podium, we find this Ferrari 250 GT/L Berlinetta Lusso also designed by Scaglietti. With its color scheme Argento over Rosso interior in original condition, this model was sold for € 1,186,250.
But during this sale, there wasn't only the Petitjean collection, other cars were offered including many other Ferrari...
1996 Ferrari F50
2ème meilleure vente de la soirée, il s'agit de cette Ferrari F50 sold for € 3,436,250. It's was one the 349 examples produced in order to celebrate the Scuderia’s 50th anniversary. I want one for my 50th birthday 😀
1983 Ferrari Meera S
This is a car I should have talked about in a post but I didn't notice it when I looked at the sale catalog. This Ferrari Meera S sold for € 432,500 is a model I didn't know at all. So a little info on this Ferrari (mostly for my personal knowledge).
This car was commissioned by the Royal Family of Saudi Arabia in the 1980s. It was penned by the famous Italian designer Giovanni Michelotti, the last Ferrari he designed. It's based on the Ferrari 400i and it is the only one produced. This is the reason why I didn't know this car. The sale was a success, exceeding its estimated price by 245%.
Did you know this car? And above all, what do you think of it?
There weren't only Ferraris, but also one Bugatti...
1994 Bugatti EB110 GT
This Bugatti EB110 GT was sold for € 1,805,000. It was one of the 139 examples built. This car was the idea of Romano Artioli, former Italian Ferrari dealer at this time, to return Bugatti fame (inactive since 1952) with a new supercar. After four years of work, he presented the car in 1991 in Paris in front of the Grande Arche La Defense and in Versailles at the same time, for the celebration of Ettore Bugatti's 110th birthday (aka EB110).
And finally the car I would have bought if my Hive wallet would have been fuller 😀
1954 Fiat 8V Coupé
The 1954 Fiat 8V Coupé, one of just 114 built, was sold for € 905,000. The Otto Vu (in Italian) was presented during the 1952 Geneva Motor Show and produced only 2 years until 1954. Just for the fun, the car is named 8V and not V8 because Fiat believed that Ford had the exclusive rights to the name V8.
So beautiful...
And the usual question, which car would you have left in?
