Maybe Aguttes isn't one of the most well-known French auction houses for automobiles, yet this week they certainly have some very interesting stuff to offer. When looking at auctions in France, you would expect mostly French cars, but we never thought to see this 1926 Stutz Vertical Eight AA Victoria Coupé on offer. Imported from the USA in the 1980s, this Stutz only has a total mileage of some 27.000 miles. Furthermore it has not been restored, except for a new paint job a few years ago. Another non-French rarity is this completely restored 1938 Wanderer W25 K that during its lifetime went from the Chemnitz factory in Germany to Argentina, then to Italy and from there to France.
But French cars haven't been forgotten, for example we saw a very nice 1923 Salmson VAL 3 Torpedo and of course several Renault's, a 1914 type EK and a 1924 chauffeur driven type OS. And there's even more to enjoy: among an abundancy of automobilia even a miniature steam locomotive that should prove some fun for the true enthusiast! This auction by Aguttes will be held on June 21st at the Hôtel des ventes de Lyon Brotteaux - in Lyon.
