The cluster of elite car auctions associated with Rétromobile grew in strength yet again this year with official auction house Artcurial and the world's largest collectible car auctioneer RM-Sotheby's both achieving their highest totals ever in Paris. Bonhams' annual total dropped slightly from previous years, but the overall result was an all-time high auction total besting US$90 million in sales.

The foundation for the auctions, the audience attending Rétromobile, also grew again this year to an all-time high of 132,000 over the five days of the exhibition, besting the 121,884 visitor record set in 2015 when the Barnfind of the Century (the Baillon Collection) went on sale.

Perhaps the most telling statistic to emerge from the sales was from Artcurial, which noted that its $47.9 million revenues came from buyers in 20 different countries, with those buyers constituting 84 percent of the sale total.

Automobile auctions appear to have made the digital transition far better than most industries, and although the marketplace may no longer be the rampant bull market we saw a few short years ago, with youngtimer classics now very much in vogue thanks to changing demographics, the collectible car industry looks in better shape than ever.

Here's a selection of the more interesting lots that sold in Paris.

Estimate: €800 to €1,200

A limited edition range of Ayrton Senna bicycles was announced in April, 1994, just weeks before Senna's final tragic race at the San Marino Grand Prix at Imola on May 1, 1994. This is one of those limited editions, being a 24-speed gents mountain bicycle with Columbus Genius 20-inch frame finished in Brazilian national colors.

Auction Description: Bonhams

This Bugatti Type 35 Children's Car is not one of the Bugatti Bebes produced by Bugatti in the 1930s, which have recently fetched prices of $99,000 and $110,000, but a hand-built replica created by a German enthusiast in 2018. The car is 2.9 meters (9.5 ft) long and runs a 6.5-bhp gasoline engine.

Auction Description: Artcurial

Though the Fiat Jolly is the established star in this genre of beach cars, with a record price of $170,500, that's a lot of money for a car with a 500cc or 600cc twin-cylinder motor and not a lot of space. There were far fewer of these cars produced using a Renault 4CV base car, there's more room, more power (750cc four cylinder engine) and a considerably more reasonable price tag. It will never have the cachet of a Fiat Jolly, which had a string of celebrity owners such as President Lyndon B. Johnson, Mae West, Aristotle Onassis, Yul Brynner, John Wayne, Grace Kelly, Henry Ford II, Gianni Agnelli, ad infinitum, but it is rarer and better so ... it's surprising that the price wasn't more than this given the estimate of €45,000 to €65,000.

€77,625 | 1985 Audi Quattro | Auction Description: RM-Sotheby's

Auction Description: RM-Sotheby's

The Audi Quattro put four-wheel-drive road cars at the forefront of the public consciousness with two successive world rally championships and a brand that has endured for nearly four decades. Estimated at €40,000 to €50,000, this Quattro is an indication that the heritage and rarity of original unmolested models of the iconic car are beginning to be appreciated by the collector car world.

€97,500 | 1984 Toleman F1 Ayrton Senna F1 Race Suit | Auction Description: Artcurial

Auction Description: Artcurial

Ayrton Senna memorabilia is becoming increasingly expensive at auction, and this was perfectly illustrated in Paris when this suit became the most expensive F1 race suit sold at auction, eclipsing the 1991 Ayrton Senna F1 Race Suit that sold for $76,480 (€55,575) at Monaco in 2014. A more comprehensive article on the helmets and race suits that sold in Paris can be found here.

€119,200 | 1944 Volkswagen 166 "Schwimmwagen" | Auction Description: Artcurial

Auction Description: Artcurial

Given that the record price for a Volkswagen Schwimmwagen is $230,724 (€149,500) set by Bonhams in Monaco in 2008, this amphibious vehicle might have sold for a whole lot more. It is a very close relation to the Volkswagen Beetle, because it is derived from Porsche's Type 60, and hence has a common ancestor with the Beetle and the WW2 German Army's Kübelwagen. Schwimmwagens are rare because so very few survived the war, with other recent auction results including $138,712 (KR840,000) by RM-Sothebys in Denmark, and $141,743 (€110,000) by Pierre Bergé & Associés in Brussels in 2013.

€138,000 | 1992 Porsche 928 GTS | Auction Description: RM-Sotheby's

Auction Description: RM-Sotheby's

The specifications of the Porsche 928 were distinctly non-Porsche, with a front-engined V8, and it has taken some time for the marketplace to warm to the car, but the final specification low production 928 GTS leads the charge in recent times. Very good examples of the 345-hp swan song model with low mileage are now going regularly for over $100,000 and this is the highest price yet fetched. There will be more.

This replica nearly doubled its low estimate (€90,000 to €120,000) for very good reason.

At least four cars are regularly claimed to be the world's first sportscar. In 2016, we considered the validity of those claims, added another four contenders, and chose a new winner – this car. Follow that link for the long story on the history of what was essentially the first modern motorcar. Its reliability, speed, lower center of gravity and better protection for the occupants made it a favorite among royalty and the aristocracy ... and racers who used it to win races at all levels.

This isn't an original, but an exact, atom-perfect replica created at enormous expense by the legendary Pursang company of Argentina.

At this price, it represents a fraction of the cost of a replica from Pursang, and a substantial discount on the most recent Mercedes Simplex prices ($2,805,000 and $1,072,500). Authentic everything, made the same way as the original, and offering an authentic experience in every respect.

Volkswagens in general, and 21- and 23-window Deluxe Samba vans (also known as Kombi) in particular, have become auction block superstars in recent years, with two of the much sought-after Samba vans going to auction in Paris. The first of the two was a 1967 Volkswagen Type 2 Minibus Deluxe 21-Window (€65,000 to €85,000) which went to auction at Bonhams and fetched €50,600 ($57,464). This van sold in the upper range of its €100,000 to €150,000 estimate at Artcurial, to become the sixth most valuable ever sold at auction.

Introduced in 1938, the 327 sports-tourer featured a 55-hp version of BMW's 1,971cc pushrod six cylinder engine, though it could be ordered with a sporting 80-hp Type 328 engine. In 1939, Autocar (UK) magazine timed a 328-engined Type 327 Sports Cabriolet at 96.77 mph (156 km/h) at Brooklands, validating what enthusiasts already knew – it was a rocket ship. One of only 428 produced, this is such a car, with matching chassis and engine and recently restored.

The Lagonda M45 was based on the company's proven 3-liter model but fitted with one of Henry Meadows' powerful 4½-liter six-cylinder engines. The esteem the car was held in by those that know can be best illustrated by the people who purchased it, and a near identical car to this was purchased new by Sir Malcolm Campbell, then the world speed record holder. Campbell's car sold in 2007 for £111,500 ($230,324), which speaks volumes for this car.

The story of this car is extraordinary, and the body was created by Herman Graber for Chassis No.90110, until it came to light that the original bodywork for that chassis was one of the fabled Figoni and Falaschi "Goutte d'Eau" art deco masterpieces, and one of only two examples with fully enclosed front fenders.

This Talbot-Lago T150 C SS 'Tear Drop' by Figoni and Falaschi sold at RM-Sotheby's Villa Erba sale in 2017 for €3,360,000. The car had been clothed in the bodywork of the 1936 Talbot-Lago T120 by Graber which sold for $244,709 | €216,030 in Paris. The story is astonishing.

Hence, the bodywork was removed and replaced with the original configuration bodywork of the Talbot-Lago T150 C SS "Tear Drop" by Figoni and Falaschi and the car sold at RM-Sotheby's Villa Erba sale in 2017 for €3,360,000.

The bodywork that had been removed was mated with a T120 chassis and a 3.0-liter motor provided to the car that was sold in Paris on Friday night for €216,030. The 4.0 liter insignia was kept on the body in respect for what it once clothed. The car was sold at that price with receipts totaling €295,000, so the restoration was therefore subsidized and the car was free. What a bargain!

The entire detail of the car's 65-year-old history was sold with the car, including images of every stage of the restoration.

Most importantly, this car is highly original, having been in the collection of noted Iranian collector Fuad Majzub for many decades and purchased from his estate in 1991 by the vendor.

This car is a collaboration between Émile Darl'Mat and Georges Paulin, and is unquestionably one of most elegant French sports cars of the pre-war period. The first of this model was run at Montlhéry, where it averaged 139.3 km/h (86.5 mph) for 24 hours, increasing demand to such a degree that the small company decided to produce a limited run. The cars finished seventh, eighth and tenth outright in the 1937 24 Hours of Le Mans, and fifth outright and first in class in the 1938 24 Hours of Le Mans. Gorgeous, rare and fast, this car is equally at home contesting any concours d'elegance at the same time as being eligible for such motorsport celebrations as the Le Mans Classic.

Auction Description: Artcurial

Already a collectible despite its tender years, this mid-engined collaboration between Mercedes-Benz and McLaren was inspired by the rampant 300 SL of 1954. It was launched at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show as a convertible, and followed up with a 591-hp GT version capable of 320 km/h (199 mph). Each engine was assembled and signed by its mechanic, and mated to a 7-speed Speedshift gearbox, with switchable ESP backed by 6-piston front brake calipers and 4-piston rear calipers.

This low-mileage (15,730 km/9,774 mi) unit was ordered without a spoiler but with the optional Bang & Olufsen sound system, hence combining comfort, sporting prowess and a relatively discrete appearance. Only 350 specimens were made of the entire series, including roadsters and cabriolets.

Ferrari's famous "Palace Revolution" of November 1961 saw the founding of a new company (ATS) by the exiled Ferrari talent pool, financed by the fabulously wealthy 24-year-old Count Giovanni Volpi di Misurata. This meant that Volpi became persona non grata at Ferrari and his promising racing team, which had employed Ferrari cars to that point, needed new cars.

The new brand employed the services of ATS, De Tomaso and Maserati, and this car is one of several now being sold by the now 80-year-old Count. It has always been in the ownership of the founder of the marque, and its history is well worth reading. Not many cars come with a story as good as this one.

Porsche's 550 Spyder was the marque's first dedicated competition car, and is the car upon which the marque's racing prowess was underpinned. It combines a perfectly balanced 550-kg (1,213-lb) car with an aluminum 1,498 cc quad cam boxer engine and it terrorized the much heavier and faster sports cars of the period to earn a "giant killer" reputation.

Just 90 were made, and they have fetched prices around the $5 million mark at auction in recent times. Two 550s were available in Paris this year, with this car selling below its estimate and another failing to make its reserve price.

The '66 Serenissima Spyder was one of three Serenissima cars consigned to Artcurial's official Retromobile sale by Count Volpi di Misurata, who in 1965 established the brand and its racing team. Only two Spyders were produced and only one of them survives – this one.

In selling for $19 million to an American collector, this 1939 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900 B Touring Berlinetta became the third most expensive pre-war car ever to sell at auction, behind a 1939 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B Lungo Spider by Touring that sold for $19,800,000 and Gary Cooper's Duesenberg SSJ that sold for $22 million.

Having been in single family ownership for 43 years, this beautiful automobile has appreciated considerably in value since it was acquired for €10,000 in 1976.
