Heuliez concept collection up for auction
Thu, 05 Jul 2012
A collection of coachbuilt specials and concept cars by French company Heuliez is to be sold at auction.
The selection of 56 cars spans a huge spectrum from a Fiat 500 up to Le Mans racers but what really caught our eye were the oddball one-off conversions.
Highlights include the Citroën BX Break De Chasse ‘Dyana', a three-door shooting break version of Gandini's classic, the 1972 Peugeot 204 Taxi H4 and the targa-roofed Citroën SM Espace.
If you fancy bagging yourself a unique concept car, they will be sold by Artcurial at this weekend's Le Mans Classic race in France. You can see all the lots on their website but here are our personal favourites:
