Among the lots that include well-known brands such as Porsche, Bentley, Panhard and Maxwell, is a French Berliet C2 double phaeton assembled in Lions in 1907 and estimated at 30,000
euro, the ArtCurial auction house reports.

Marvelous cars are being auctioned by the Prince of Monaco, whose late father Rainer III spent years assembling one of the most famous collections in the world.

The more-than-a-century-old collection boasts about 150 cars.

More than 100 of his vehicles have been on display at the Terrace of Fontvieille Museum in
Monaco, but now his son, Albert II, has decided to sell 38 of them.

Rainier III, who once married Grace Kelly, ordered a special finish at AMG which included a
special steering wheel, a rear spoiler, special side sills, the rims, suspensions with lowered springs, an integral paint covering the entire car, including grille and window surrounds.

It is expected to fetch around £12,000 when it is auctioned today.

“The Princes of Monaco have always been passionate about motor cars, My father, Prince
Rainier, took over the development of the race, which has today become one of the most
prestigious events in the world,” Prince Albert said.

“Together, we established a private collection of classic cars which is particularly close
to my heart. I now wish to add some new models to the collection,” he added.
