24h Le Mans
Le Mans Classic Legend and Artcurial Motorcars are pleased to announce their partnership to organize the official auction for the 2026 edition, which will take place on Friday, July 3, at 5 p.m. at the heart of the 24 Hours of Le Mans Circuit.
A long-standing partner of the world’s premier automotive events, Artcurial Motorcars marks its return to Le Mans with a selection of 71 lots. Bringing together more than a century of automotive history, this auction will showcase iconic models, several of which played a direct role in the legend of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Among the highlights are a 1966 factory-spec Porsche 906 Carrera 6, an Alpine A450B that competed in the 2014 24 Hours of Le Mans, a Mirage M3 Spyder that won at Imola with Jacky Ickx, a Duckhams LM—Gordon Murray’s first design—and an authentic Lotus Type 78, the first Formula 1 car in history to feature ground effect.
For more than twenty years, Le Mans Classic has established itself as one of the world’s largest gatherings dedicated to historic automobiles. Co-organized by Peter Auto and the Automobile Club de l’Ouest, the event celebrates the unique legacy of the 24 Hours of Le Mans by bringing together the cars that have shaped the history of endurance racing.
In addition to this official auction, Artcurial Motorcars will also hold an online auction from July 2 to 8, 2026. Displayed in the Rotonde at the Parc des Expositions throughout the event, this selection of some sixty automobiles will span more than 125 years of automotive history. Nearly 90% of the lots will be offered without a reserve price, providing an opportunity to acquire a classic car under particularly attractive conditions.
Through this partnership, Le Mans Classic Legend and Artcurial Motorcars share a common ambition: to celebrate automotive history, preserve our heritage, and offer enthusiasts from around the world a unique experience, bringing them closer to the Le Mans legend.
