THE MAGAZINE AUCTION RESULTS
Nice-looking Italians…
Over the past few years, the Pierre Bergé & Associés auction house has held sway over sales in Brussels. It has now cut
down its activity there, but still lays on sales, as witness the one here, staged on 8 October. This was dedicated to the
automobile, and featured 27 lots which sold 63% by number and 85% by value, totting up €1.35 M. Some fine Italian
models made a powerful contribution to the final total, starting with the star of the day: a 1968 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 Berlinetta.
This was an outstanding vehicle designed by Pininfarina, one of the last of the 350 produced, and inspired enthusiasts
to battle for it up to €923,500. A long way behind (at €94,800) came a 1970 Alfa Romeo GTA 1300 Junior
designed by Bertone: one of 450 produced between 1968 and 1975. In third place, at €72,000, came a 1951 Simca-
Deho: a single-seater racing car that competed on the Pau circuit with Bardini at the wheel.
