DIEGO HAS HAND IN PORSCHE WIN
A Porsche 911 owned by late Argentine legend Diego Maradona during his brief stint playing for Sevilla in Spain doubled its upper estimate to sell for €483,000 in Bonhams’ Les Grandes Marques du Monde à Paris fixture from 3-10 March, its first timed online classic car sale.
The ‘Turbolook’ 964 Carrera 2 convertible from 1992, slated to hit €150-200k, matched exactly a French-registered 1960 Aston Martin DB4 Series II Sports Saloon (€450-600,000) for top lot in the €4m sale.
“We anticipate online-only sales will become an important part of our calendar from now on,” said European auctions manager Paul Darvill.
