PARIS.- On 28 September 2025, Artcurial Motorcars will present the sale of the automobile collection from the Château de Vernon Museum. Around 50 vehicles from the Jean-Pierre Nylin collection will be offered without reserve, alongside a carefully curated selection of other collector cars.

This unique event, held in the heart of a prestigious historic estate, promises to be a must-attend occasion for all enthusiasts of exceptional automobiles.

At the heart of this remarkable collection is Jean-Pierre Nylin, a passionate enthusiast, particularly of sports cars from the 1950s and 1960s. Over time, he patiently assembled iconic models spanning nearly a century of automotive history—from the 1920s to the late 1990s. The very first car he acquired was a MG, soon followed by a Bentley Type R—two models that already set the tone for a collection defined by elegance and performance. In 2008, the museum opened its doors to the public, with rally driver Ari Vatanen and auctioneer Hervé Poulain in attendance.

The collection reflects a rare diversity: Porsche, Ferrari, Jaguar, Aston Martin, Maserati, as well as Facel Vega and Alpine. It spans a wide range of styles and types—from classic sedans to sporty coupés, including roadsters and racing cars. Each vehicle tells a part of automotive history, the evolution of design, technology, and performance over the decades.

For this sale, additional cars from private collections will enhance the catalog, including a 1923 Bentley 3L Tourer and a 1926 Lancia Lambda.
Highlights include a 1921 Delahaye Torpédo, a testament to the early days of modern motoring; a 1958 Facel Vega HK 500, the embodiment of French luxury; a 1963 Maserati 3500 GT Sebring and a 1963 Porsche 356 B Cabriolet, both reflecting European elegance; a 1971 Aston Martin DBS, showcasing refined British style; and a 1997 Chrysler Viper GTS, a powerhouse of raw American muscle.

This event promises to be a must-attend occasion for lovers of fine engineering, automotive design, and motoring history.
