Classic Car Auction Flea Market? Aguttes and Osenat Give it a Try
Two small French auctions, Aguttes & Osenat, revealed rare classics, standout Ferraris, and record-breaking Citroëns beyond the big-name events.
When it comes to French auctions, it’s easy to think of the big events like Retromobile or Monaco. But precisely because of that, if you dig just a little deeper, you’ll find real treasures hidden away in sales outside these major circuits — gems that would otherwise go unnoticed.
I firmly believe that the purpose of this space isn’t just to “sterilely” report results, but also to help us discover lesser-known auctions and cars that are no less interesting.
That’s why this time I’ve chosen two small auctions — not in terms of quality, but in volume — Aguttes, which was held on 16 March in Paris, and Osenat, which organised its sale eight days later in Fontainebleau.
