The world of French cars has always been special. The auctions are unsurprisingly the same way. Therefore, after last week's article about the British auction market, we spotlight the French market this week. On March 10, Aguttes offered 59 cars worth €4,210,000 in Paris. On March 25 Osenat, based in Fountainebleau, presented the same amount of cars (59), however, estimated at about half the value: €2,329,500.
Based on these numbers, their performances looked like photocopies: 41 cars sold by Aguttes (69.50 percent) and 45 by Osenat (76.27 percent) with a total revenue of €3,517,755 for Aguttes and just under half for Osenat (€1,701,310). Average prices were quite far apart: €85,799 for the Parisienne and €37,807 for the "City of Kings".
