RM Sothebys Paris 2025 Auction - some pics from me

[autofocus]

Hi there,

Had a very enjoyable trip to Paris earlier this week. The main reason for heading over the channel was to visit Retromobile for the first time, but while in the city I also checked out the auctions being held by Bonhams and RM Sothebys.

I will share galleries from Bonhams and Retromobile in the coming weeks as I work through all the pics but as a starter please see below a link to my gallery from the RM Sothebys sale.

The sale was split across two days and given I was not there until the Wednesday I missed the first day which was given over to the 'Curated Collection' which was mainly made up of Porsches. The remainder of the lots included the headline grabbing Ferrari 250LM which had won Le Mans in 1965 and a few other heavy hitters.

The lighting in the auction room was terrible, I guess due to the fact the venue was underground with no natural light so apologies for the poor quality of a few pics.

Good pics as ever. I'm definitely getting old as I look at the modern hypercars and just think "you could never use that in anger" whereas the Citroen DS has you thinking of sunny drives on the continent.

What is the red Ferrari with number 27 on it? I don't recognise the shape
