How to talk to French price - the price Request
A rare 1937 French Roadster has sold 6 million for 6, which proves that the rich car collectors spend again.
Total sales for sales to car collection auction in Amelia Island Concours d Elegance weekend exceeded 66 8 million, a record for the event, which rose 20 percent last year, and the price average sales exceeded 400,000, an increase of 366,787 last year, according to the auto insurance firm Hagerty collection.
The star of the weekend was a competition tribunal Delahaye 135 1937 Torpedo Roadster by Figoni Falaschi and one of only two surviving examples of French model built RM Auctions sold the car for 6 6 million, exceeding the high estimate of 6 million.
The car had been owned by the famous collector and retailer Malcolm Pray, whose wife playfully dubbed Mistress French car Malcolm because of his fondness for the car, he died last summer.
No car stops people in their tracks over a Delahaye said McKeel Hagerty, CEO of Hagerty.
A 1937 Delahaye Roadster, a classic car collection owned S Malcolm Pray Jr. was auctioned for 6 6000000 weekend in Amelia Island Concours d Elegance.
Other top sellers were the typical mix of Ferrari, Porsche and Mercedes-Benz Gooding Co sold 1968 Porsche 907 Cup Longtail 3 6 million and 1959 Porsche 718 RSK Spyder for up to 3 3 million.
A BMW 507 Roadster 1958 was sold by RM for 2 42 million, suggesting that BMW are beginning to make inroads into the world of car collection.
The collection of boom even dripping on Datsuns and RM VWs sold a Volkswagen Beetle 1955 and 82500 Gooding sold a 1968 Datsun 1600 for 50600.
But do not assume that the rusty Beetle in the garage is suddenly a fortune both VW and Datsun were immaculately restored.
To restore cars like the Beetle or a Datsun roadster to such a degree of perfection is nothing but a bet that while these cars are jewels collection of the future, Hagerty said we expect to see these types of cars significantly increase the value of time.
