From the Jean-Pierre Beltoise collection........
Star lot sold was the Beltoise collection Matra-Simca MS670B sports-racing ‘Barchetta’ with 3-litre V12-cylinder power in which Beltoise’s team-mates, Henri Pescarolo and Gerard Larrousse won the 1973 Le Mans 24-Hours endurance racing classic. This magnificent and historic 220mph projectile was passed from Matra to Jean-Pierre Beltoise (seen attached, with his wife) and it has since been lovingly preserved over many years and restored within his personal collection. The car sold to a British collector for the world record Matra price of 1,105,000 Euros.
