The Williams Renault FW19 from 1997 sold for €1,312,400, the Renault Alpine A442 for €1,278,080 and the Renault RE40-03 for €1,198,000. Additional results included the 1983 Renault Maxi 5 Turbo Prototype at €216,720 and the 1983 Renault EF15 Type E engine at €225,080. Proceeds will support reacquisitions and restorations for the Renault historic collection ahead of its 2027 museum opening.
The Signal
The sale demonstrates sustained collector demand for championship-winning Formula 1 cars with documented provenance, particularly those linked to drivers such as Alain Prost. High prices for prototypes and show cars indicate that scarcity of original components continues to drive values in the specialist motorcar market. Institutions and private collectors can use these benchmarks to assess timing for consignments or acquisitions of similar period racing vehicles.
