- Bonhams Les Grandes Marques du Monde Paris- For several years now, Bonhams' traditional auction during the Paris Car Week has been held at the Palais Ephémère near the Eiffel Tower, a really airy venue with top-quality lighting. Once again, Bonhams has been offering a large number of vehicles from a major Kuwaiti collection, most of them on static display only, devoid of documentation, and asking to be put back on the road. The models, mainly Aston Martins of all generations, are often exclusive series, such as this year's "V8 Racing Collection". This is a series of 7 V8 Vantage models from the 2010 model year, featuring different liveries used by the brand in competition, with a wide range of options. A number of 'Youngtimers' supercars were on sale, including a Ferrari Enzo, a Porsche Carrera GT and a Mercedes SLR Roadster, and it's rare for such a fine series of Lamborghinis to be on sale in the same place: Miura P400S, Countach LP400 s2, 400 GT, Jalpa and LM002.
