Artcurial Motorcars achieved a white-glove result with the sale of the Fritz Neuser Collection in Paris on 15 March, with 100% of lots sold and a total exceeding €5m. The single-owner offering – centred on the long career of Ferrari agent Fritz Neuser – drew strong attendance and competitive bidding.
The top lot was a 1970 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona, finished in Verde Medio, which sold for €602,000 after sustained bidding. It was followed by a 1975 Ferrari 365 GT4 BB at €367,220 and a low-mileage 2006 Ferrari 575 Superamerica, which achieved €355,180.
Further depth came from later flat-12 models, with a 1981 Ferrari 512 BB and 1984 512 BBi both selling comfortably within estimate ranges, while a 1977 308 GTB Vetroresina reflected steady demand for early fibreglass examples.
Beyond Ferrari, a 1970 Alfa Romeo GTAm 2.0 – one of just 40 built by Autodelta – brought €201,068, while a low-mileage De Tomaso Pantera GT5-S reached €198,660.
Automobilia formed a significant part of the sale and proved equally popular. A Ferrari-themed counter, estimated at just €800-€1200, sold for €14,564, while a Colnago Ferrari bicycle reached €21,184. More substantial items included a Testarossa engine table at €41,044 and a Ferrari F40 engine cover at €68,848.
