WATCH | Vintage Alfa Romeo cars go on sale at auction in France

Eight vintage Alfa Romeo cars will go on sale at an auction near Paris on Sunday.

The collection, owned by a Franco-Swiss family, includes a 1969 Tipo 33/2 racing model estimated to sell at up to R50.5m. The red racing car marked Alfa Romeo's postwar comeback to international car racing.

Other models include a 1954 Giulietta Spider prototype estimated to reach R9.12m.

Also on auction, in addition to the eight cars, is a one-person racing boat with an Alfa Romeo engine.

The Osenat sale takes place in Fontainebleau, south of Paris, and online.
