Artcurial Auction at Flins: Welcome to Renault’s Black Friday

The hidden vaults of automaker museums are often treasure troves of unseen history – cars that have never been displayed, or perhaps never even meant to be seen. That is why moments when a manufacturer decides to streamline its collection and release pieces at auction are so compelling. Artcurial’s sale at Flins on December 7 was a textbook example. As Renault embarked on a renovation of its museum and a reorganization of its collection, it chose to let go of a remarkable selection of vehicles and memorabilia.
