Every collector's car has a story, and that story sets the price. Its chain of ownership, its maintenance record and the originality of its components shape its value as much as its model or year.

From pre-war to youngtimers

MYTIKA offers collector's cars from every era at its two auction houses in Honfleur and Lisieux, on Normandy's Côte Fleurie, a stretch of coast with a long love affair with the automobile. Our sales feature, among others:

• Pre-war and prestige cars from the 1920s and 1930s
• Grand tourers and sports cars from the 1950s to the 1970s
• Everyday cars turned cult classics: 2CV, Renault 4, Beetle, Mini
• Youngtimers from the 1980s and 1990s, now sought after by a new generation of collectors
• Automobilia: enamel signs, posters, model cars, parts and accessories

Documented before estimated

A serious estimate starts with a thorough inspection. Our auctioneers, working with specialist experts, assess the mechanical condition and bodywork, check matching numbers (chassis, engine, gearbox) and verify that every document is genuine.

The catalogue reflects this work: detailed photography, a full condition report, provenance, service invoices and registration papers. That is what allows buyers to bid with confidence, including from a distance.

Bid in the room, by phone or live online

Each sale takes place in the saleroom, but bidders take part from anywhere. Telephone bids, absentee bids and live online bidding on mytika.com open every lot to collectors across France and Europe.

A wider audience has a direct effect on results: the more qualified bidders compete for a car, the closer the hammer price comes to its true market value. All vehicles can be viewed at the public preview ahead of each sale.

Thinking of selling your car?

A single car, an entire collection or a vehicle from an estate: each calls for its own sales strategy. Choosing the right sale date, reserve price and catalogue presentation is a balancing act best worked out early, with a specialist.

Our process takes three steps:

1. Send us photos and documents through our online form.
2. Our specialists return a free, confidential estimate, with no obligation.
3. If you decide to sell, we set the timing, the reserve and the presentation of your car together.

Has your car been sitting in a garage for years? That is often where the finest surprises are hiding.
