- Artcurial Chateau de Vernon -

Jean Pierre Nylin, a car collector who created the Vernon Museum in the castle of the same name, passed away at the end of 2024. His heirs decided to sell the collection at an auction organized by Artcurial.

The collection includes a number of cars from the 1960s and 1970s, such as a Facel Vega HK500, an Aston Martin DBS, and a beautiful series of Maseratis: 3500 GT, Sebring, Khamsin, and Merak. One of the rarities on display was a Lotus Esprit Sport 300, the civilian version of the X180-R, limited to 64 units.

The sale attracted many visitors with some very interesting cars, such as a RUF 911 CTR, a purple Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupé, and a black Ferrari Challenge Stradale.
