Auctioneer Maître Hervé Poulain, and Matthieu Lamoure, managing director of Artcurial Motorcars commented:
“Following our first €7-million sale at Le Mans Classic in 2010, the 2012 Artcurial Motorcars sale realised close to €9-million, a substantial increase. The sale rate of over 80%, the production of two catalogues, a world-wide marketing campaign with many cars selling to foreign buyers, all confirm Artcurial Motorcars’ leading position in the international market.”
Maître Poulain added: “When I took part in the 24h race, I drove for 1h30 at a time. Today, after 6h on the rostrum, and the success of the sale, I am ready for a double stint!”
The Artcurial auction marquée, situated on the Bugatti circuit by the collecting area for the weekend’s 24 hour event, provided a perfect view of the drivers, in their legendary racing cars, gearing up for the start of the race. Throughout the day, torrential rain hammered down on the roof of the marquée, causing two power cuts during the second part of the sale. Undeterred, Maître Poulain continued with the auction throughout these interruptions.
Following their first €7-million sale at the event in 2010, Artcurial Motorcars 2012 sale realised €8.7-million.
Automobilia sale
The racing-themed Automobilia section of this sale, emphasising the history of Le Mans, offered a wonderfully diverse 85 lots with an equally diverse range of estimates to tempt every collector.
The mascots, posters, objects, service station spares and documents, selected by automobilia expert Estelle Perry, came under the hammer of auctioneer Maître Stéphane Aubert, with over 80% of all lots selling. There were many exceptional prices, including top price in this section of €6,600 for a c.1950 Gulf petrol pump. Also, a cubist mascot “Elephant” by Jacques Cartier estimated at €1,500 sold for €3,600 and a poster for the 1956 24H signed by Geo Ham (estimate €200 – 300) sold for €1,400. Posters of Steve McQueen starring in the mythical film Le Mans changed hands for €3,800 and €2,600. There was also a wonderful choice of Hermès ties for “Le Mans Classic” and “24h du Mans”, which all fetched high prices.
