Diego Maradona’s Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Cabriolet topped the results at Bonhams’ Paris auction along with a 1960 Aston Martin DB4, each bringing €483,000. The ‘Turbo Look’ 911 was delivered new to Maradona in November 1992, with the football legend using it regularly during his brief spell at Sevilla. Recently serviced by Porsche Centre Bonn and now showing 122,762km, it made short work of its €150,000 – 200,000 estimate at Bonhams’ first online only sale, which attracted buyers from 37 countries.
