Another Atlantique 300 up for auction

I've just noticed that Aguttes in France have three LHD Venturi's for auction on Nov 5th.

1. 210 Transcup with a guide of EUR 30-40.
2. Atlantique 300 with a guide of EUR 55-75.
3. 400 GT with a guide of EUR 130-180.

The guides seem pretty realistic given their respective mileages, condition, etc.

So how did they get on? Prices guides seem optimistic, I've been around these cars for many years and can't quite believe I'm seeing 6 figure sums for a Venturi (as stunning as they are!)

A lot of stuff seems to be massively over inflated price wise these days but not sure the French stuff is really keeping up with the trend. At least with Alpines there is less to lose when it all goes down again and the enthusiasts can get back in their cars and get the investors out of them.

Only the 210 transcup sold for the bottom estimate for 30K euro and that was the personal car of Gerard Godfroy (cofounder of MVS/Venturi) with unique spec.

The others were unsold.

Forget the venturi values though look what this high miles 5 Alpine/Gordini made!

Almost the same as the 928S in the same auction

Just had an email from the auctioneers (Aguttes). The Atlantique 300 has been sold for EUR 60,000, but the Trophy remains unsold for now.

This makes the recent UK auction of the bi-turbo Atlantique 300 look cheap at GBP 37k. Someone got a bargain.
