Finally, a 1970's star, the modified 23-window VW Combi T1 1600 broke all the records, selling for €192,852!

It should be noted that the ‘Renault Icons’ collection also sold really well, with huge interest in the 1995 Renault Clio Williams which fetched the world record price of €73,904 and the Renault Floride which made €42,912, also a world record. The display engine was also highly sought after; estimated at €3,000-5,000, it finally changed hands for €65,560!

"We are delighted by the tremendous success of this Parisian sale, complete with world record prices, that had attracted many international - notably American - bidders, who took part in some epic bidding battles! Long live Collectors' Automobiles!", cheered a delighted Matthieu Lamoure, the Managing Director Artcurial Motorcars.
