Broad Arrow Auctions, part of Hagerty (NYSE: HGTY), is set to captivate collectors and automotive enthusiasts in Paris this January, with exclusive previews of its Global Icons Online Auction series and the prestigious Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este Auction. From 27 to 30 January 2026, one of the world’s most famous sporting venues, Roland-Garros Stadium, will host a curated selection of the most desirable collector cars alongside rare motorsport memorabilia, creating a truly unique experience for visitors during Rétromobile car week.
A Star-Studded Preview at Roland-Garros
The Roland-Garros previews offer collectors a rare opportunity to see some of the standout cars from Broad Arrow’s upcoming Global Icons: Europe Online Auction. Among the highlights is the 1992 Benetton B192-05 Formula One car, in which Michael Schumacher claimed his first Grand Prix victory at Spa-Francorchamps. Estimated at over €8.5 million, this motorsport legend will be on display alongside a Ferrari Classiche certified 1967 Ferrari 275 GTS, one of only 200 produced, expected to fetch between €1.4 and €1.5 million, and a 1971 Lamborghini Miura P400 S, estimated at €1.6 to €1.8 million.
Visitors will also encounter modern icons, including the singular 2003 Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale in Azzurro California and a highly specified 2011 Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 Clubsport, a rare French market example finished in black. Another star attraction is the historic pre-war Type 18 Bugatti, “Black Bess,” once owned by French aviation pioneer Roland Garros. Courtesy of the Louwman Museum, this extraordinary car—considered one of the first street-legal supercars—is one of just three surviving examples of the model.
Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este Auction Previews
Broad Arrow’s previews also highlight some of the rarest and most collectible cars that will go under the hammer at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este Auction in May 2026, in partnership with BMW AG. Key lots include the 1929 Bugatti Type 43 Roadster by Eugène Matthys, a bespoke one-off with exquisite coachwork and estimated between €2.5 and €3.5 million, and the 1926 Bugatti Type 37 Grand Prix, celebrating its centenary with an estimated value of €1 to €1.3 million.
The previews extend beyond historic rarities, with Broad Arrow Private Sales also showcasing exceptional cars, such as a 1957 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing Coupe, a 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS Lightweight in Glacier Blue, and a nearly new 2022 Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4.

Rétromobile takes place at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles from 28 January to 1 February, with a VIP and media preview on 27 January.
