Collectors Cars & Automobilia

PRIVATE SALES

Our commitment to getting as close as possible to the expectations of each collector has led Aguttes on Wheels to offer a private sales service since 2018.

These private sales leverage the extensive network that Aguttes on Wheels has woven with the most influential collectors and players in the market: historians, brand clubs, manufacturers, tuners as well as organizers of the most prestigious events in the world. All this is done with the sole purpose of achieving the best sale or a private acquisition. Since its creation, more than thirty private sales have been successfully completed. Examples include the March 711-2 ex-Niki Lauda, the vice-champion of the world in 1971, the Jordan 191#6 ex-Andrea de Cesaris/Team 7UP Jordan, and a Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona Gr. IV ex-12 Hours of Sebring 1972.

While discretion is the guiding principle, targeted communication and personalized promotion are designed to maximize visibility to the general public or a carefully selected clientele based on the vehicle.

Ensuring the security of the transaction and handling all administrative and logistical aspects are our responses to the expectations of the most exacting collectors.

A dynamic calendar

Ten Automobiles de Collection & Automobilia auctions punctuate our department’s calendar. It stands out through its top-tier partnerships, as the automotive specialists at Aguttes have had the honor of orchestrating auctions at prestigious events such as the renowned Tour Auto by Peter Auto and the European Heritage Days with Aventure Peugeot Citroën DS. Not to forget the Official Sale of the highly sought-after Rallye d’Aumale and the May 1st auction with the iconic Galerie des Damiers. These well-attended auctions have allowed the department to build trustful and close relationships with both buyers and sellers.

At the beginning of 2021, the Collector Cars department achieved the remarkable feat of sourcing and selling three of the most sought-after Ferraris – F40, 288 GTO, and Daytona Gr. IV – within just a few days in a highly dynamic market.

As the Dakar Classic gained momentum, we also had the immense privilege of handling the most mythical car in the history of the Paris-Dakar rally: the legendary Rolls-Royce Jules prototype, which was driven by Thierry de Montcorgé and Charles Pelletier in 1981. We will soon see this vehicle back on the sandy tracks of Saudi Arabia.
