Aguttes - Automobiles de Collection - La Vente d'Été, Paris, France

29 June, 2025

Lot 42

Chassis No. 811219 DN

French classic car registration document

Our car joined Mr. P.'s collection in June 2022. At that time, the car was black with a burgundy interior and hadn't been driven for a long time! Our long-time collector therefore undertook a complete restoration to his standards. Nothing was left to chance: a full repaint, replacement of the upholstery and hood, as well as a complete restoration of the chassis, running gear, gearbox, and engine!

After this work, there were no surprises behind the wheel: the engine sounds perfect, the gearbox is firm, makes no unusual noises, and finally, the running gear is perfectly tuned.

Carrying out a complete restoration on a car like this represents colossal costs! Our car is truly ready to hit the road and will delight even the most demanding collectors!
