Artcurial Sells Fritz Neuser Ferrari Collection for €5M, 100% Sold
The Facts
Artcurial's auction of the Fritz Neuser collection, featuring 30 vehicles and 301 Automobilia lots, achieved €5 million on March 15, 2026, with all lots sold. The sale, led by auctioneer Anne-Claire Mandine and presentations by Artcurial Motorcars President Matthieu Lamoure and Vice-President Pierre Novikoff, drew strong international interest. Top lot was a 1970 Ferrari 365GTB/4 Daytona in Verde Medio, which sold for €602,000 after a fierce bidding war. Other notable results include a 1975 Ferrari 365 GT4 BB (€367,220), a 2006 Ferrari 575 Superamerica (€355,180), and a 1988 De Tomaso Pantera GT5S (€198,660). A Ferrari F40 engine cover sold for €68,848, far above its estimate.
The Signal
The sale underscores the enduring appeal of single-owner collections with a coherent narrative, particularly those tied to the Ferrari marque. Neuser, a longtime Ferrari agent, assembled a selection of rare models and memorabilia that resonated with collectors seeking provenance and rarity. The 100% sell-through rate and premiums on items like the Testarossa-engine table (€41,044) and Ferrari bar counter (€14,564) signal robust demand for automotive collectibles beyond just cars. For collectors, this result affirms that curated, passion-driven collections can command strong prices even in a selective market.
