Prestigious Car Auction to take place in WEC Fan Village at Spa

On Friday 5 May, 80 amazing cars will be auctioned for sale in the Fan Village of the WEC 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps.  Among them will be Enzo Ferrari’s personal Ferrari 250 GTE and writer Françoise Sagan’s “favourite toy”, a Lotus Seven.

At one of the world’s most beautiful circuits, some of the world’s most beautiful cars have been assembled by the Stanislas Machoïr auction house, all dating between 1928 and 2003.  Viewing of the cars will be from Tuesday 2 May onwards until the auction which begins at 18h00 on Friday, and bidding is expected to be fierce!

Enzo Ferrari’s 1959 250 GTE was shown before the start of the 1960 24 Hours of Le Mans, and used by the Commendatore himself and is surely the star of the show, with a guide price of €800 000 to €1 000 000!

French playwright, novelist, and screenwriter, Françoise Sagan loved sportscars and owned many different marques, but spoke of her “little Lotus” or “Little Seven” with great joy and referred to the car as her favourite toy. 

Come along to Circuit Spa Francorchamps and see all the cars which will be taking part in the WEC 6 Hours of Spa Francorchamps weekend (tickets available HERE and children under 12 have free entry), plus those lined up for auction and all the other entertainments on offer for the whole family.
