Broad Arrow, a Hagerty company, is set to present a curated selection of automotive masterpieces at Retromobile 2025 in Paris. From pre-war racing legends to modern marvels, the display will feature vehicles available for auction and private sale, offering collectors a diverse range of historically significant automobiles. Broad Arrow’s presence at Retromobile underscores its position as a leading player in the collector car market, providing expertise in auctions, private sales, and bespoke financing solutions.
Highlighting the display is the 1948 Ferrari 166 Spyder Corsa, slated for auction at Broad Arrow’s inaugural Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este Auction in May 2025. This historically significant Ferrari, chassis number 004 C, boasts a rich racing history, including participation in the Targa Florio and Mille Miglia. Certified by Ferrari Classiche, this 166 Spyder Corsa retains its original components and boasts an impressive provenance.
Another notable vehicle on display is the 1988 Porsche 911 TAG Turbo by Lanzante. This rare machine, one of only eleven built, features a genuine F1 engine raced by Alain Prost in 1987. Developed by Lanzante, this 911 showcases exceptional craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology. Its carbon fiber bodywork, striking Mint Green paint, and 200 mph top speed make it a truly unique offering.
Broad Arrow will also present the 1930 Bentley Speed Six ‘Old No.3’. This Bentley Speed Six, chassis number HM2869, is a Le Mans veteran, having competed in the 1930 race. Driven by Sammy Davis and Tim Birkin, ‘Old No.3’ played a significant role in Bentley’s racing history. Its continued racing activity, including participation in the Le Mans Classic in 2023, underscores its enduring appeal.
The 1949 Talbot-Lago T26 Grand Sport Coupe by Dubos Frères will also be on display. This rare Talbot-Lago, one of only two bodied by Dubos Frères, features a 4.5-liter twin-cam engine. A Grand Prix winner at the 1949 Concours d’Elegance du Bois de Boulogne, this T26 Grand Sport has a fascinating history, including ownership by famous driver Otto Zipper.
Completing the automotive lineup is the 1965 Ferrari 275 GTS. This elegant convertible, designed by Pininfarina, is powered by a Colombo-designed 60-degree V12 engine. With only 200 examples produced, this 275 GTS is a highly sought-after Ferrari, embodying the grand touring spirit of the 1960s.
In addition to the automobiles, Broad Arrow’s stand will feature a selection of highly collectible memorabilia, including Formula 1 driver helmets, which will be offered in the Spring 2025 Memorabilia Online Auction.
