Artcurial returns to Saint-Tropez on 28 June with a 90-car catalogue. A 1959 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster in original unrestored condition, with known provenance and just three owners, has formed part of the seller’s collection since 2011 and is listed at €1,000,000 – 1,200,000.
A unique 10,400-km 1986 Lamborghini LM002, built for the Sultan of Brunei carries an estimate of €450,000 – 575,000. Modified by Autocostruzioni de Salvatore Diomante in Italy, it features a covered rear with a raised roof giving additional bench seats, a television and electric sunroof. After leaving the Sultan’s stable it passed to Bernd Pischetsrieder, former Director at BMW and Volkswagen, before finding two further custodians.

Star attraction at Osenat’s Fontainbleau sale on 23 June is a two-owner 1975 Lamborghini Countach LP400 that was photographed by Helmut Newton for the cover of the owner’s manual. The original owner retained the car until 1987 when it was sold with 40,000km, after which it was the subject of a bodywork restoration in the mid-2000s. Regularly maintained but with little mileage covered over the past 12 years it is guided at €800,000 – 1,200,000.
