Among the French cars, there is a Peugeot 201 Coupé, the first model to inaugurate the nomenclature with the zero in the centre, still used today (Lot 7, base 7,000 euros), and a rare Citroën C3 T3-2 “Trèfle” Torpedo of 1925 in the characteristic lemon yellow colour, the first available for the second car produced by the car manufacturer (Lot 5, base 7,000 euros).
Synonymous with beauty and perfection, the Rolls-Royce 20/25 Sedan with bodywork by HOOPER & Co. Ltd. is one of only 16 produced, with design number 5320, of which only 14 are known in the world. Two-tone blue and light blue, perfectly restored, it is the car par excellence that symbolizes luxury and elegance between the two wars (Lot 10, base 20,000 euros). The catalogue is enriched by a rare early car, a Charron, produced in 1914 by the French company, Charron Limited, whose founder Fernand Charron was famous in the automotive field for having often excelled, on board a Panhard, in races held at the turn of the two centuries (Lot 1, base 15,000 euros).
