Stunning pictures of classic cars in Paris

The classic car market is booming and there have been not one, but two, auctions of beautiful historic cars in Paris in the past week alone.

We've already reported on the inaugural RM Auctions Paris sale, which saw nearly £15 million's worth of the world’s rarest and most exotic cars going under the hammer, including a Jaguar D-type that sold for more than £3 million.

The other was the annual Bonhams Les Grand Marques du Monde au Grand Palais car auction. To you and us, that’s ‘The Great Marques of the World at the Grand Palace, Paris’.

These amazing photographs taken ahead of the sale are evocative as any of the other attractions Paris has to offer. So sit back and let us take you through the classics on offer.
