An unusual collection for an unusual collector (click here)

Firstly on a bike, for which he has dedicated his life, and secondly in a car, Marcel, our collector, loves anything that rolls. French cars first, which he was able to drive when he was younger, and the American cars he dreamed of. When it came time to retire, Marcel built up an unpretentious collection with a clear objective: to drive every one of them. From the Renault Rodéo 5 Teilhol to the Chevrolet El Camino, not forgetting the BX Sport sold without a reserve price, Marcel saw 6 of his 8 vehicles find buyers - a great success for this first part of the sale on Benzin.fr.

Benzin: the obvious choice

At a time when there is a lack of time and space, and a desire for something new, Benzin appeared to be the ideal solution for Marcel to sell part of his collection. Thanks to an entirely online sales process, Marcel can dispose of his vehicles without having to manage the complex logistics involved in transporting them to an auction house. What's more, by using Benzin, he can offer his cars to a community of over 100,000 enthusiasts, ready to buy from the comfort of their own homes.

Tailor-made sales

To ensure the sale took place under optimum conditions and to offer a high-quality experience to both sellers and buyers, Benzin designed a specific formula adapted to the requirements of selling car collections. After drawing up the list of vehicles with the help of our dedicated sales team, Benzin sent a team of specialist photographers to the storage location to carry out a complete report on each vehicle. Our experts then wrote a precise description of each vehicle, validated against the photos, to ensure that buyers had a simple yet detailed buying experience.

The rest of the sale: new vehicles to discover

Building on the success of the first part, Marcel is continuing the adventure with 11 new vehicles for sale. These include an elegant 1978 Mercedes-Benz 450 SL R107, a Renault 11 GTL with low mileage, a Chevrolet Corvette C4 in need of a complete overhaul, and three vintage tractors, including two Renaults and a Zetor, bearing witness to a 360° passion for mechanics.

Dates of the sale

These new vehicles will be on display on the website from Friday 20 June. The auctions will run until Wednesday 3 July, with each lot having its own sales window. Click on "Follow" on the adverts that interest you to receive auction opening and closing alerts.
