Every year at Autodrome we buy and sell some of the most sought-after Classic Automobiles ; not many, and not necessary expensive, but always with an exceptional value and historic importance.  

Our policy is simple and unchangeable : for any given model, to offer the best example available, and at a most affordable price. Believe it or not, profit is far from being our main motivation. This means painstaking screening, demands lots of time and a sharp judgment acquired through fourty year-plus experience. Clients often purchase more than one car from Autodrome, maybe be because it is rare to find elsewhere the same combination of trust, competence and committment.

Here is a selection among the most beautiful and most desirable ones...

    The Barzoï is a very attractive berlinette with gullwing doors, created by the Frenc constructor Fournier-Marcadier (later Marcadier). The most sought-after version is the one with engine in central position. Collectors appreciate the ultra-light construction, the originality of the concept, and the thrilling driving experience.

    The mythical Lamborghini motorcycle does exist ! We have accepted to lend our 900 cc example to the Schlumpf Museum, and this exceptional bike has soon been aquired by an enthusiast visitor... However, as Lamborghini specialists since the seventies, we own another example in our collection : please enquire in case you would like to know more.

    This Jalpa was kept twenty years in a safe, dry garage, and was a unique opportunity to acquire a "little Countach", actually, very close in performance to her elder sister, but much more affordable tu buy and to maintain. A bargain for our Client who came himself from a remote Northern Country to pick it up at our premises. Our example was one of the very first ever made, still in her original coulour scheme.

    Autodrome associates are of course collectors themselves. This Matra-Bonnet Djet VS preserved as delivered by the factory has been pampered several years in France. Our Associate sold it directly and personnally to an European enthusiast who'll take car of her and enjoy a thrilling driving experience. Picture : Autodrome ex-owner makes sure loading is safe for a long distance shipment.

    Lotus experts and enthusiats know the value of the rextremely rare Europe Series 1 (with non-opening windows and bonded chassis). This is the second example that we sold, and this time also to a true Lotus fanatic and conoisseur, owner of a 26 R, Eleven, Elite Type 14, and more...This beauty will soon recover her orignal white colour. A thrilling experience when driven fast on open roads.

    This 350 GT was the ninth Lamborghini ever built, and was probably road-tested before delivery by Ferruccio himself and by Paolo Stanzani - these very first cars were crucial: the "secret weapon" of Lamborghini to challenge Enzo Ferrari, absolute king of luxury sports cars in the sixties. Specific construction details make these early cars particularly desirable. A Scandiavian connoisseur is the new happy owner.

    The Urraco P300 is "the" Urraco - the earlier P250, with a smaller, less powerful and less reliable engine, is much more common and less sought-after. This P300 is ready for a nice restoration. An expert Italian Collector, who owns many other Lamborghinis, quickly decided to acquire this extremely attractive and rare (only 200 built) Classic.

    Some call her "the petite Lusso"...and it is true that her DNA is pure Ferrari. Style by Giugiaro, chassis by Bizzarrini, and the smallest Ferrari engine in History. A very exciting Italian GT for any serious Collector. We sold her with only a few miles since the restoration was completed. A true delight for then next owner.

    Ferrari ? Maserati ? No, Sir : Alfa-Romeo... but with sublime Touring elegance. Classics designed by genius Bianchi-Anderloni are more and more sought-after. This swan's song straight-six-powered Alfa-Romeo 2600 Spider has been acquired by an Eastern-Country conoisseur.

   Many of us dream of a Ferrari or Lamborghini V12,... But both makes have also created magnificent GTs with V6 and V8 engines, and, as far as the Urraco P250 is concerned very rare (520 built). Its 3-litre V8 is placed in a transversal position as in Miura. Our example has been built by a collector before the restoration was completed, and for a very attractive price.

    Very few Aston Martin DB2 Vantage have remained unrestored ; we bought this one in France after several years of dry and careful storage. Its new owner will participate in the 2017 Mille Miglia.

   The Countach LP400S Series 1 is a more outrageaously styled than the "periscopica", but shares its low body design and low suspension, hence its knickname "Low body" ; most Collectors rate it as the "second best". We acquired this one as soon as we could and she has now found a new happy owner outside France.

    The Alpine challenger ! Our fully-restored Jidé 1600 S powered by the famous Gordini engine found in the Alpine 1600S. But the concept of this wonderful berlinetta is indeed close to the Ford GT40...Monsieur Jacques Durand achieved his Masterpiece with this thrilling road-legal race car. A very discerning Belgium connoisseur decided to add this extremely rare piece to his important Collection.

    We have owned several Facel 2, and every time it's a privilege. This RHD example was maybe the best : completely restored by Lecoq. What a beauty...We will miss her...

    Our Lancia Flaminia has now a new (British) owner. At this price, it was a true bargain, and time will only confirm the excellence of this choice. Those Superleggera/Touring bodied Classic GT are among the most elegant and beautiful cars of their time.

    The mighty Pantera GT5-S, last of the breed: impressive styling, specific all-steel bodywork and very rare, expecially in original condition (many GT5S have been altered). The new owner will have a difficult decision to make : whether to use or not the optional rear wing !

    Our DBS was one of only 72 Vantage ever built by Aston Martin. A Left-Hand drive example with ZF gearbox, Air-Conditioning, power- steering ... there are opportunities not to miss !

    Only 40 happy Collectors enjoy the privilege of driving the ultimate V8 Classic Aston Martin: the mighty "Le Mans" is the culmination of the Aston golden years before it was bought by Ford. We sold three of these phenomenal cars : this one, finished in Black is the last Le Mans delivered (in 2012) to a Middle-East VIP, and therefore simply the last Classic, pre-Ford Aston Martin ever delivered...only 3000 km.

    The reconstruction of this rare Islero 400 GTS started a few years ago. Some clients hesitated to buy, although the value was very low, half of what is is today...A famous Lamborghini collector just decided to acquire this wonderful V12 classic before the work was completed... and before the market price rises further -  as for all Classic Lamborghinis nowadays.

    Quattrovalvole...one of the most fabulous cars of the XXth Century. It would be impossible today to create and sell such a "crazy" automobile. Most Ferruccio's masterworks are now avidly sought-after in the whole world. A Bugatti/McLaren/Rolls Royce dealer bought this one from us for one of his foreign clients.

    A Right-Hand drive Lamborghini Countach is very rare. This LP5000 S, restored as new, and finished in a unique, striking colour scheme (yellow/white leather) was acquired without hesitation by a British Collector.

    This exquisite Lamborghini Miura sold by Autodrome Paris was shipped in a very special van. Even though the restoration was not completed, the buyer was determined, and we agreed to provide the (renewed) spare parts, ready for assembly. This car will be a delight when this gentleman will turn the key...

    We were proud to sell this Lamborghini Miura thoroughly restored by the best specialists. Of course more expensive than other Miuras of a lesser quality, this automobile also received rare upgrades : split-sump lubrication, ventilated brakes discs. A joy to own and to drive. This exampleis one of the earliest Miura in existence.

    A vintage Racing Lamborghini ? Excessively rare, only a handful exist. This impressive LM002 participated in the Dakar Rallye in 1996. The new owner will restore this mighty Countach V12- powered Classic AWD to its original racing glory.

    The French-made Fournier-Marcadier Barzoï is a rare Renault-powered berlinetta with Gullwing doors. These small road-legal racing cars are re-discovered by Collectors. Our well-preserved example has been acquired by a US Collector (owner of some of the best Racing and Sports cars like rare Alfa Romeo TZ1, Porsche 962, and the like).

    The Countach LP400 "persicopica" challenges rationality and measure ; no words can explain the sheer aesthetical emotion that this automobile generates when you see it in the street. After a couple of years (perfect restoration takes time), we were so in love with her, that we could only accept a very exceptional conoisseur as the next owner.

    The mysterious PMS Barchetta is a fascinating creation : the only race car in History with mid-engine and front-wheel drive... We bought it before knowing anything about it, just to preserve it from destruction. After several years we are proud to say that this unique racer will be restored, by an enthusiast Italian Collector who bought it from us. Looking forward to see it on the track !

    We recently sold this DBS - straight 6 Vantage LHD for the second time, after we bought it back from our client. In a couple of years, market has changed and price was higher; However, a top example as this one quickly found a new home -  a true Aston enthusiast and Collector.

        The 308 GTB Vetroresina is now one of the most coveted Classic Ferraris - a true sport Gran Turismo : two-seater, central engine, lightweight fibreglass bodywork, and extremely rare : only 500 have been built in European version( LHD and dry sump lubrication). Our example, very special with original black paint, has been acquired by a Japanese enthusiast, owner of a very impressive Classic Collection.

        The last LAMBORGHINI Miura in History is the SVJ Spider, presented by Lamborghini in Geneva in 1981. Last evolution of a legend, this unique prototype long belonged to Autodrome's private collection for several years. So as to keep this important automobile in France, we sold it to a Parisian collector.

    A magnificent Lamborghini Countach LP400 is going to be shipped to its new owner. Our client is based in Asia, and bought this car from us on a phone call, without seeing it. Trust is the foundation of our activity. The lucky new owner has actually acquired a fine automobile worth much more than the price paid.

    This mighty Aston Martin V8-Vantage Le Mans is one of only 40 ever manufactured. Enthusiasts consider the "Le Mans" as the very last true Aston Martin, the swan's song of a legendary make. With 612 BHP, it is the most powerful road-legal Aston Martin ever. A low-mileage, one royal owner car...
