Broad Arrow Auctions will place the global collector car market in the spotlight during Rétromobile week with a series of high-profile public previews at two of Paris’ most recognizable venues. From Jan. 27 to Jan. 30, 2026, Roland-Garros Stadium will host a curated display of vehicles and memorabilia tied to Broad Arrow’s upcoming Global Icons online auctions, while additional highlights will appear at the Rétromobile show at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles.
The Roland-Garros preview marks a new Paris location for Broad Arrow’s Global Icons: Europe Online Auction and its companion Global Icons: Memorabilia Online Auction. The stadium joins an established network of preview sites across the United Kingdom, Germany, Belgium, and Italy. Alongside the cars, the event will include displays from complementary luxury brands, creating a broader lifestyle-focused setting during one of Europe’s most important collector car weeks.
Among the most notable vehicles on display is Michael Schumacher’s 1992 Benetton B192-05 Formula One car, the machine that carried the future seven-time world champion to his first Grand Prix victory at Spa-Francorchamps. The car is estimated at more than €8.5 million and stands as a centerpiece of the Global Icons offering. It will be shown alongside a Ferrari Classiche-certified 1967 Ferrari 275 GTS, one of approximately 200 built, as well as a 1971 Lamborghini Miura P400 S estimated between €1.6 million and €1.8 million.
The selection also spans multiple eras and categories, including a 1976 Mercedes-Benz 450 SEL 6.9 once owned by French pop star Claude François, a unique 2003 Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale finished in Azzurro California, and a French-market 2011 Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 Clubsport. Together, the cars reflect the broad scope of the Global Icons auction series, from historic motorsport to modern performance flagships.
Displayed alongside the auction cars at Roland-Garros will be the famed Bugatti Type 18 known as “Black Bess,” shown courtesy of the Louwman Museum. Once owned by aviation pioneer Roland Garros, the pre-war Bugatti is regarded as one of the earliest street-legal supercars and survives today as one of only three known examples.
At Rétromobile, Broad Arrow will preview early highlights from its Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este Auction scheduled for May 2026. These include a rare Bugatti Type 43 Roadster with bespoke coachwork by Eugène Matthys, a historically significant Bugatti Type 37 with extensive racing history, and a 1990 Ferrari F40. The company will also showcase vehicles available through its private sales program, ranging from an unrestored 1957 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing to a nearly new 2022 Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4.
Rétromobile runs from Jan. 28 through Feb. 1, with a VIP and media preview on Jan. 27. Bidding for the Global Icons: Europe Online Auction opens Jan. 23 and closes Jan. 30, running alongside parallel UK and memorabilia auctions during the same period.
