Seven Anything-Goes Group B Rally Legends Are Up for Grabs in Paris

Group B cars were banned swiftly and pitilessly in 1986 following the crash of Finnish racer Henri Toivonen and his American co-driver Sergio Cresto at Tour de Corse on the French island of Corsica. Toivonen's crash wasn't the first, but it was the last of Group B rallying, which many call the "golden age" of rally racing. Group B cars were exciting, immensely powerful vehicles that required incredible handling skills, and two racing enthusiasts gathered a collection of seven of the best of them soon after the ban for exhibition. After more than three decades on display, on February 5 this rare Group B museum-quality collection will be auctioned off for large sums of money by Artcurial Motorcars in Paris. While annual auction and quirky auto show Rétromobile is postponed for 2021, this one-off auction also includes 35 other lots like a gorgeous 1954 Bentley Continental and a 1959 Aston Martin DB4 GT that is anticipated to fetch $2 million or more.
